There is also the developer !== developer problem.

I've worked with terrible developers, developers I'd trust to maybe write a blog for my cat, developers I'd trust on an important system but they all called themselves developers.

The old joke used to be "You know what they call the guy with the lowest passing grade in his medical school? Doctor".

I'm excited by projects like http://darklang.com/ that are looking to make basic development more widely accessible, rather than requiring esoteric skilled labor mostly done by people who don't actually have the skills involved. It would be great if the industry got to the point that people coming out of school could be a net positive.
