I know what you mean, but there's a lot of people who have CS degrees and have /absolutely no idea/ how to code - when I was a Unix admin, this described most of my colleagues.
They knew sorting algorithms well enough to pass an exam, but parse a spreadsheet with some proposed file systems and make them? That was a big deal.
