Classic write-up!

Although, now that I'm an interviewer, I kind of despise FizzBuzz, because nobody thinks clearly during a high pressure interview.

Whenever possible, I love to talk with a candidate about some concrete past source code they claim to have written. I've better luck putting the candidate at ease and then talking through their contributions to the code.

Of course, when I get enough candidates who shared source code, I don't even invite the ones who didn't share source code for an interview.
