I went to Cal but for MechE. Im also a totally self taught full stack web developer, although just on a personal miniSaas with 34 paying companies.

I think you'll learn tons by starting a personal project, tiny, small, daunting, whatever your appetite for pain is, and just doing that.

I thrashed away on my crm like saas for 6 months before the first demo customers were using it. And then worked on it for another year till it was sellable to less friendly companies.

Recently I picked up a JavaScript book and read it. While I learned a few things, I was shocked how much I knew from what I learned from stack overflow and just random reading and thinking during the time of building that CRM.
