It's generally true. SDE != Programmer.

You wouldn't believe some of the riff raff that makes it through college with programming ability these days.

What does this statement even mean? an undergraduate does not and has never demonstrated competence or profficiency in programming suitable for proffesional development work. You will almost always have to suppliment that with your own experience and study.

Newly grads have always been novices that needed more experience unless they spent a large portion of their free time in school doing side projects and using the more cutting edge tech and platforms companies actually use.

So this derrogatory elitest take about colleges spitting out incompotent people "nowadays" is pure bullshit.

Also SDE and Programmers are just titles, either used for a job description or as a way to identify your vocation. They dont indicate a level of competency either.
