Either build something, or go to the academy. If you build something, you'll do a lazy evaluation of the knowledge tree, learning just what you need to get the job done, which will be a very small subset of all that you described above, depending on the domain of your problem. However if you want knowledge for the sake of knowledge, get a master degree / PhD, it sounds to me it is exactly what you are looking for. Also you don't sound line an expert beginner, you sound like a beginning expert, I'm programming for 10 years for a living, built a couple of money making startups, and doing my MSc at the moment, I can't say I know half of all that at an expert level ;) Finally, accept that you don't really have to know everything, and more so, you can't really be an expert in everything, it's really hard but CS is a very wide field. You can't help but being a beginner expert on a wide area of topics, and only a "real" expert in a very narrow subject. Not all CS Phds are expert in everything, actually they are most likely expert in a very narrow set of topics relevant for their research. Bottom line, either learn for learning and do it in a place that honors it (academy or independent / commercial research)
Or build something that makes money, and the subset of human knowledge needed to make it work will be defining itself (you'll have to fight the urge to learn things that "you'll probably need later", and make it more "on demand" learning) |
