Different universities will provide different sets of knowledge and depth of that knowledge. However, I think we can generally say that a CS degree will provide the "crystal ball" information that GP states. I believe that your last point is the crux of it all. Anecdote: I have peers all over the CS knowledge spectrum while taking the exact same class from the same instructors. Some peers have taken that knowledge and written kernels. Others are struggling to write an array sorting method. The former have been served well by their undergrad studies. The latter would have likely fared better in a 12 week bootcamp where it's more training and less theory.
