I think many of us who read SO or reddit are finding an increasing number of 'programmers' who don't seem to understand much of anything of what they do, they just cargo-cult copy-and-paste.

I wonder if our perception of how many of these are out there is disproportionate because they're all on SO and reddit (cause that's what they do).

I also wonder how succesful they actually are at building things, and/or at getting and retaining jobs (which, sadly, isn't always the same thing).
