Employers need to wake up to this in hiring, too. You can get a 4.0 with a degree in computer science from a top school, and still not be able to program at all.

Some organizations still hire software engineers just based on resume and a nontechnical interview. This can easily be a disaster! You need to do a real assessment during the interview of how well software engineers can code.

Also you can hire people with 20+ years of experience that also can't code (where people claim to be a software engineer). FizzBuzz was a real filter for a while. It has amazed me how some people where able to slide by in larger organizations for years and then switch (internally or to another company) when the competency mattered. You can make a whole career it!
