I feel like a lot of my coursework was overstuffed with learning and re-learning waterfall vs agile, and fluff subjects like 'user-centred design' and 'professional computing practice'.
The latter was basically 'how to make a resumé' and 'how to not be an arsehole in email'.

Nothing wrong with that, you could get a full computer science degree from our university and not be able to code for shit. You definitely can't hire university grads blindly. You often see developers act tough about how knowing how a CPU works is important for being a developer, and it is, but knowing that doesn't make you a good developer. It just makes a good developer better.
