I worked with a developer for a year and a half, who has 11 years of experience, who cannot code fizz buzz and cannot accomplish basic tasks. I have to hold his hand through even the smallest changes or bug fixes. These people exist.

He just got a new job at a large company with a significant pay-raise. The industry is filled with people who are, to put it bluntly, incompetent.

edit: that last line is a little harsh. I don't mean "filled" as in entirely or even mostly. I am just trying to say they aren't uncommon.
