i’m consistently annoyed at how useful watching someone fizzbuzz in a REPL can be.

it really shouldn’t be! But i have watched candidates get utterly flat-footed by it time and again, and learn both how they handle being set back on their heels and also that this relatively simple question can do it to them.
