For a 4 year degree in CS at many universities, the coursework isn’t that similar to web development, so it’s not surprising that CSS may be a struggle. CS and programming are different things. For example, there are typically several classes on data structures and algorithms. I have worked with and managed self taught, bootcamp, and CS grads, and the CS grads on the level understand how to use dictionaries and lists efficiently, how and when to write recursive algorithms, can quickly write compound Boolean expressions, and seem to have a good concept of runtime complexity and not to write nested loops. Many other examples as well where 4 years of learning the internals of how everything operates and is designed feeds into day to day development.
