I'd say somewhere between 1 in 3 and 1 in 6 people that graduated with me (from a decent university!) could not actually program at the end of their three or four years.

That said, the same goes for at least two of the professors...

Well given how little time is spent on teaching actual programming/coding at a university, this isn't totally surprising.

Writing code is the easy part, after all.
