Of course, since most of the people selling themselves as "web programmers" are undegreed kids with little formal knowledge, there's a lot of crap floating around. Until employers value experienced professionals with the proper credentials (instead of thinking that every kid with green hair and a stud through his tounge is a web expert), there's little hope for a standard of quality on the web. I guess this really took a lot of thought to write. Maybe we should hire the people with blatantly moronic stereotypes? I have undegreed and/or people with various degrees (Political Science, Nuclear Engineering, an Army Ranger) working with me and we produce great code. Please think before you write.
