@sankara the main thing to worry about is SMS. If they force you to have a backup phone number and use SMS, that's bad. Most of the top-tier sites do not require SMS.

@jhbrown94 @brooklynDev remotely over audio or real time chat would be fine. But real time is important because you do need to know if they can identify the steering wheel and gas pedal on the truck, before being hired to drive the truck..

@donal_tweets @brooklynDev what I like about fizzbuzz is it hones in on two very, very basic concepts: looping and if-then. You are hiring a truck driver and asking the truck driver to point out where the wheel and gas pedal are as part of the interview. That's all!

@jhbrown94 @brooklynDev one difference, though, this isn't an actual programming problem of any complexity whatsoever -- it's more akin to applying for a job where you drive a truck and asking "can you show me where the gas pedal is?" in the interview.
