The EnterpriseQualityCoding version of FizzBuzz[0] is the ultimate (hilarious) version of this. Though, there is still some room for development of node, js, etc versions.

Ah you beat me too it. I used to have parts of that and the dailywtf version hanging in my office: http://thedailywtf.com/articles/The-Fizz-Buzz-from-Outer-Spa...

Does anyone know what the candidate was actually trying to do here? Is it semi intelligible? I can't figure it out.

I also love this one.

Fizzbuzz implemented as C++ compiler errors.

No factory factories. 0/10, next application please.

I don't know. Java seems like the one true language for the Enterprise version of FizzBuzz.

The Node version could be pretty great anyway. Huge list of modules required, multiple implementations of the same basic thing in use, separate modules for "fizz" and "buzz". And MongoDB used for something, for no good reason.

Well, how else are you going to store the results before you print them to screen?

You mean maybe store the results?

Mongodb is webscale https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b2F-DItXtZs

"fizz", "buzz", and "fizzbuzz" should be separate microservices each with their own failover and redundancy systems.

Many years ago I stumbled on a programming golf contest on the old Something Awful forum. The challenge was to convert a byte string to a hex dump. I wrote it as a distributed JNI system with CORBA based RPC. The boilerplate stuff alone was like 500 lines. This is what I did for fun in high school. I wasted my youth.

Agreed, but it needs a designation besides Enterprise. My mind is drawing a blank, though.

You can write Java in any language.

I shudder to agree. Doing a code review from someone who wrote an entire program in Java formatted Python was one of the low points of my career.

Trees upon trees of nearly empty directories, one sparse class per file (with the requisite getters and setters), factories to make factories... the horror.

I created a xxxxFactoryFactory in a recent project. Partly for practical reasons and partly for satire.

Wow. Just... wow. That is more amazing than most of the code I see on a daily basis.

I dont know needs more tests :)

It doesn't look like it was implemented following TDD.

No recruiters would accept it.
