Well those semantical terms won't get you anywhere. There isn't a difference which will reach consensus.

But alas, I see the root of your argument. Universities aren't teaching people to be great for corporate America, despite how warped that ideal of higher learning has become. Coding schools are sticking to what is relevant for current roles. Many of the coding schools already know what the current roles are and act as glorified recruiters making the bulk of their earnings on the placement of their students in roles they have already lined up.

Being productive in a corporate environment doesn't take much time at the right level of the stack.
