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

There may be some people with accredited degrees in computer science who are very lacking indeed in the most elementary programming skills.
