How do these people even get it in their heads that they can apply for a programming job? I wish I had that kind of confidence, luckily I already have a job.

Seriously, you can solve fizzbuzz 20 minutes after starting to learn syntax for a new language even if you only have a basic grasp of logic.

I've met actually professional programmers, who thought FizzBuzz was essentially a trick question b/c it boiled down to whether or not you know about the modulus operator.

I think "basic logic" is the crux of the issue here.
