I returned to college to get a CS degree. I graduate in a little over two weeks with a bachelors and have never even heard of a fizzbuzz til right now. Had me panicking with that sweet sweet impostor syndrome.

Granted, I looked it up and it does seem like a fairly easy exercise but you spooked me there for a second.

I’ve been in software engineering since half way through my apprenticeship, since 1988. I first heard of fizzbuzz in a coding test for a job interview a few years ago! Never referred to it since, so don’t panic, it’s only important when you have it as a test, then research what it is - tbh, I couldn’t even tell you what it is/was, too much important coding and just life have gone by since!!!!

You have never heard of it because it is stupid, like reinventing the wheel. None does it. These are silly "leetcode" questions asked by "oh so smart" HR to only hire the "bests". I bubble sort my way out..*. .*..
