Gross oversimplification but a good indicator.
Ugh, such "programmers" don't deserve a paycheck. It's like hiring someone who never learned arithmetic as an accountant. Makes no fucking sense at all - they just simply *can't* do their fucking trade, period. The "programmer" and the hiring manager should both be fired and pointed to nearest (possibly hiring) fast food joint. (Incarceration for "impersonating a programmer" would perhaps be more appropriate ;) )
