The trend we see in programming is the same trend we see in many sectors. There is a spectrum of skills, and unfortunately, we only talk about the bad programmers and not the good ones.
The reality is that your company probably don't pay for top skills, so they get what they pay for. The pool of worker is spread thin, so the only thing left is the bad programmer.
So diploma mills churn out a maximum of workers to cash in on the situation.
