As someone who has a humanities degree and had zero trouble finding a job as a programmer (3 interviews required to get a job), color me skeptical. You might have a hard time getting a job at Netflix/Google/Facebook/etc. But there are plenty of companies out there that absolutely do not care if you can write algorithms on a whiteboard and they aren't bad places to work. Are those companies missing out on good programmers because of these requirements? Of course, but it's hard to say if they're making a mistake. They're also filtering out some bad programmers or at least bad students.
