I would have given him the job

#4Maybe the one-hot binary encoding wasn't the best feature set. Base 3 and Base 5 encodings might have worked better.

#5This whole thing is making fun of asking fizz-buzz to a senior programmer, but yet I've found it to be one of the best phone screen questions possible.
For someone who is truly a senior programmer, they knock it out in about 30 seconds and we move on. For the ones who pretend to be senior programmers on their resume, it trips them up and I know right away that their resume is either a pack of lies or their previous coworkers were helping them a lot more than they let on.
If I had actually had this person, I would have probably laughed as soon as he did the imports, said, "clearly you think this is a silly question" and then explained why I ask that question. Hopefully we could have moved on from there.

It's just a jape, not to be taken seriously, made in the great comic tradition of FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition: https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpris...

Stupid question: We are trying to train the network how to calculate modulus of division. Of a binary encoding. Why should we expect this to be learnable in only two layers?

Yeah, secretly I was surprised that it worked as well as it did!

#10I think I'd start with, "Let's define two combinators S and K..." ....
Fizz Buzz in combinatory logic, that would be quite entertaining.
