The WSJ is often out of touch with reality and this article is no exception. They collected the data from job postings and stopped investigating. If they'd done any real investigation (like, polled working developers and correlated their work history with their education) they'd realize their reporting doesn't support their (sensationalizing) headline. (I used to work at Hired; I have a decent sense of what gets noticed on an engineer's resume. And I've personally interviewed hundreds of developers.)
