University doesn't teach you how to code. They delve into complex theory or math proofs.

You still need to learn to code on your own. These self taught systems do come in handy.

That's a generalization that maybe used to be true but probably never was. There are some good university programs today that I feel actually focus on learning how to program like the How to Design Programs curriculum.
