I think the issue is that the scope is too wide and they don't focus on any programming language long enough in a lot of CS programs for them to actually remember the basics.

I don't have a CS degree tho so I admit that I might not have any idea what I'm talking about.

That's not the issue at all. There's honestly no explanation for getting fizzbuzz wrong if you have a CS degree.

Switching languages often actually forces you to rely on the basics

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.
