Learn about data, data science, statistics with a guise towards Machine Learning. Learning about data and statistics will give you a skill in numeracy that will be very distinguishing compared to the majority of developers (as evidenced by the other comments). This will help you quantify your accomplishments, ask thoughtful questions about the numbers others (including product managers) use to make decisions and give a fresh perspective to arguments that often lack credible facts. Taking this further, with more math, can lead to proficiency in Machine Learning, which I think is the most important change in computer science in the last ten years, and likely very important to all developers in the next ten. Background: started three companies (IPO, sale to a big tech company, crash'n'burn), CS degree from an Ivy, now working at Google.
