Nothing quite like watching someone with 8 years of academic research flex their theoretical knowledge while completely freezing up when asked to write a simple for-loop. The industry's full of these theoretical gymnasts who can explain quantum computing algorithms but struggle with Git basics. Meanwhile, the bootcamp grad who's been coding for 6 months is shipping features like it's nothing. The classic theory-practice gap in computer science is wider than the average developer's monitor setup.
