By “programmer” in this context I meant ‘someone who applies for a programming job and makes it to the interview stage’. Which unless they outright lied on their CV means they probably have some kind of certification. In another article I read that more than half of comp sci graduates can't do FizzBuzz.
In a halfway decent world, granting a comp sci degree to someone who can't do FizzBuzz would be punishable as fraud.
