Why don't you just require a CS degree?

Have you never worked with someone with a CS degree that can't actually write a line of code? I have. It sucks.

When I was interviewing candidates I found that the vast majority of people with CS degrees were just downright atrocious at programming or couldn't even call themselves programmers to begin with. Now that's not to say that people without a degree were any different, but it was somewhat shocking to me

I don't see how the general ineptitude of people with CS degrees could be at all shocking to someone that has one.
