I definitely was *not* looking for a pat on the back.  I just could
not believe that "FizzBuzz" (Or similar questions.) would ever be
needed in a job interview for programming/software engineering.  I
honestly thought that I was missing something.  I know that I have had
some really bad *blooper* moments in the past on this list!

Hopefully this one provides a more accurate picture, though it is not
a rosy view either.

The more I read and study, the more I follow this and the main list,
the more I realize how truly little I know ...
