I heard this many times, and yet I've never encountered them in my career. I was even interviewing for a while and none of the candidates were as bad as people say.
Some wrote C or pseudocode on Java interview but pseudocode made sense and they could explain it.
I wonder if people with such experiences interview candidates without degree in CS (it's free where I live so it acts as a good filter). Basicaly unless you are on 3rd-5th year of CS degree or graduated, or worked as a programmer - you will have problems with getting to interview.
- ZoFreX 12y agoI'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...
- nkozyra 12y agoWell 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.
