I have met many so many people fresh from university. They studied computer science and they just couldn't code. Like the code quality was abysmal. I literally dealt with people who didn't know how to use git. 6 months later, they were fine. But at the start...

No university has the time to teach you coding.

That guy is acting like universities did.

Yeah I had uni projects with people in the same degree as me (Comp Sci) who straight up said they never learned to code. It baffled me that two people would both leave the degree not knowing the same stuff. I honestly don't know how they were passing classes in some cases.

There's definitely too much knowledge for any one bootcamp, uni course or YT tutorial to teach and experience gaps are hard to identify until they come up. Best thing uni did was teach me how to teach myself, but someone following YT tutorials likely has that skill. That's probably the most important skill to have as someone in tech imo.
