I wish some of the kids taking computer science classes at my school showed some of these symptoms. Unfortunately, they are still struggling with for loops in their second and third programming classes. All of these imply that you are, at least, a programmer. That's more than a lot of people with CS degrees can claim.

That's an interesting point. I've never considered it like that. At my school, you do have to take at least one language class before you delve into anything deeper, but one is clearly not enough. It's tantamount to taking a single semester of a foreign language that you've never touched before, then enrolling in a college writing course in that language.
