If something feels like it's interesting then go explore it in more detail. Read a book, find some relevant YouTube videos, take a Coursera course, read more in Wikipedia. Access to knowledge on the Internet today is amazing.

I have studied Math/Comp.Sci. I've been writing software professionally for a long time. There are specialized topics I'm not an expert in that might go over my head, if I'm interested enough I'll spend time and dig deeper.

My theory is that you want to have a big picture and be able to go into details when/where you need to.
