I wonder if this is due to graduating people who can't code Fizzbuzz.

  My thoughts exactly. Most schools teach Computer Science, very few schools teach you how to actually program. People have to learn that on their own, and many people don't, and as a result, aren't able to actually program.

    That's because Computer Science != Programming.

      I'd say computer science should contain programming. Pure theory is for mathematicians.

Eliezer, so far not many people on HN have believed my little anecdote about this, but there appear to be graduates with master's degrees in computer science from reasonably decent universities in the United States who can't pass "Write a program using a for loop to print the integers from 1 to 100" as an initial interview screen! http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4603414 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4603414 There may be some people with accredited degrees in computer science who are very lacking indeed in the most elementary programming skills.
