I think the headline might be slightly over-the-top, especially since the article is basically a plea for better university. The fact that non-university-educated developers can, fairly regularly, turn out to be better developers than those who did get a university education (at anything other than a top-tier university) proves there's a problem, but the solution is probably a rethink of how university treats the subject. Kudos to Harper for putting together his own internship program rather than just complaining about the standard of state provision too.
