I talk to a lot of academics, and I think they see the
situation
differently than is presented here. In a nutshell, the way a lot of
them look at it, the amount of computer science in the world increases
constantly while the amount of time they have to teach that to
undergraduates remains fixed. As a result, they have to pick and
choose what they teach very, very carefully, balancing a number of
criteria as they do so. What this translates to in the real world
isn't that the bar is lowered, but that the bar is different.
You also have a lot of self-taught programmers, and graduates
of bootcamp programs, getting into programming.
