Most programmers can't program AT ALL
I find this article to ring true and it’s something that would be very useful for anyone in management at a tech company to know. However, I did get my first job programming with almost zero comprehension of how anything worked, but for me, the opportunity left me infinitely more qualified. I don’t think this is necessarily typical, and I would remain cautious when hiring, as it is very easy to be fooled by someone who sells themselves well enough.
