> I’m a self-taught programmer working with a lot of very smart CS grads, so I constantly find myself thinking that I’m not fast or good enough to keep cutting it.

I'm just gonna throw my experiences out here: I'm self-taught who then got a BS in CS, and day-to-day, the vast majority of the skills I use are the ones I started developing before college. The CS knowledge is something that is extremely useful, but it's not a day-to-day thing - it's more like, it pops up in special circumstances, and the degree never really touched on the self-taught things.
