Not only can they not get security right, I have seen MANY people slinging Javascript at banks who are career programmers with CS degrees who can't get slinging JS right. I'm not talking total incompetence or can't fizzbuzz but people who were consistently unable to deliver on midsize or larger features and who's code is unreadable and unmaintainable.
The problem with the blue collar coder concept is that there is a lot more art(or design) required to write code than to work in a factory or mining(which I'm sure also has an art to it but I'm guessing is much less conceptual and abstract). Unfortunately I don't see it happening.
