The answer to the main question, you already answered it: caring.
There is too much people that just doesn't care. Being a coder isn't just something you can be good at if you don't want to improve and work on yourself.
School and diploma just give a hint of what the real world is. There are tons of self-opportunity out there that anybody can do to get that experience without having a real job.
Unfortunately, most of the candidate just don't and makes us cautious about the potential good dev.
I totally agree with having something to back you up with project or open-source participation.
I hired one dev that had zero education in the field. He would just love to code in his basement all the times. This guy was 100 better than any other coder I had that went to university. All that because he was caring and living it.
The best dev imo are the one that love their job and that need to self control themselves to not stay and continue to code and improve.
