Not having a degree, this was of the biggest issues I didn't know I didn't know. I encountered it after about 6 years on the Job. I landed a role in a blue chip and had get a great boss who taught me the foundational theory I was missing. I didn't ask him to, per-se, but I think he just sensed I needed it. It made a huge difference to me as a developer. So I do agree, foundational knowledge is kind of a big deal.
