So there's really no hope for the self taught without formal algorithm training. I can start from an idea, build an entire site from the ground up, including hardware, OS, programming environments, mysql/oracle/rethinkdb/mongodb/arangodb + all their query languages, backend nodejs/php/python code, all custom frontend css/stylus/vuejs/js/responsive, domain / dns / hosts, email servers, deployment and administer the entire stack. But I guarantee I'd fail every single one of these tests. I guess I'll go back to building my own projects, because none of this sounds enjoyable.
