It's possible that his technical abilities are now sufficient to do the work but he hasn't yet learned the language commonly used for describing the technology.

Conversely, I've known college taught programmers who struggle with basic CSS so... it's all relative IMO.
Allow me to throw a wrench in the works and point out that a lot of the time when people say “function” they mean “procedure”
During my 5 years studying Computer Engineering (BSc, 5 years is the normal amount of time if you don't fail any classes where I'm from), the total amount of time someone taught me CSS was 30 minutes.
Go back a few years and Web Programming would have been an optional class, meaning it could have been 0 minutes.
But it's css code. You can debug that real time and it doesn't affect the real stuff that my company actually pays me for.
