CS curricula being far removed from practical development implies that the coworkers you are sorrounded with who *are able to do practical development are all in fact self taught, whether they have CS degrees or not.

Yeah, I think that most CS graduates that are good at coding are also self-taught (and probably started in grade school.)

University teaches theory, practice is necessary for a well rounded engineer. Most students only do what's required. Good students do more than what's required.
