The reform I'm proposing is that reputable universities should only issue CS degrees to people who can, in fact, code.

That's why the time machine is so important - to get back any CS degrees issued to people who can't code.

So I think you are actually agreeing with me?

This sounds more like a PE Exam equivalent for software engineering which I honestly think should be put into place since most traditional engineering industries have this already.

Yea, I think that is the alternative. A professional body which accredits its members. It is a system which is known to work for other disciplines.
