If you code and develop in it, you're bound to hit computer science whether officially or informally. Because if you don't, you aren't really coding: you're just staying at your comfort zone and that's no more coding than learning to play a dozen songs with piano and just playing those over and over is not really playing piano.

On the other hand, if your background is top-notch computer science you just may suck at coding ― which would be just ok except that I suggest that not many advances in computer science happen unless the dilemmas at hand stem from practical programming problems, after which they can be explained and modelled theoretically and theoretical solutions be devised.
