I've hired and it is astounding the number of people with CS degrees and years of experience that can barely program. Until there is some sort of professional IT association like the BAR for lawyers this type of treatment will continue.

Unfortunately there are about 1000 competing bodies trying to be this association. It seems that the tech crowd would rather in-fight than work together to be treated seriously.

And the number of coding schools that have popped up in the recent years and the fact that every econ major and their mom is trying to become a developer now isn't helping either.

You greatly underestimate the mapping of a law license to competency.
