I've never taken a lick of CS in a formal setting, and I feel like that's increasingly common as programming has broadened its employment base. Most of the people I work with haven't done formal CS, either. Consequently I've had to learn all of this stuff on my own. There are communities out there that value education this kind of education. I can vouch for the Rust community, which has helped me learn _a ton_ about this kind of "lower level" stuff over the last 5 years despite starting my career doing Ruby.
