Knowing how to use your tools. Operating systems, window managers, editors, debuggers, cli&gui tools in general, keyboard shortcuts etc. I often find the lack of this pretty jarring, watching how slow and ineffective some people are when using their basic tooling, even though they are a couple of years into their career and have written a todo app in a dozen currently cool languages/framework on the side.
I feels a bit like watching a chef, that has all the theoretical knowledge about food composition and such, but takes 5 minutes to chop an onion.
