I work as a data scientist, but sometimes when I have the time to study stats I get stuck on problems. I also write software on our team, and have never taken a CS course or studied algorithms formally. It used to really bother me, and I still am motivated and invest time and energy into building fundamentals, but I also realize that for some reason, despite this, I'm effective at my job and people respect my work. Meanwhile, people who took all the most advanced PhD and CS courses often are unable to get things done. As I've grown a little older I try to spend less time worrying about these things, and realize more so every day how large the disconnect is between solving abstract puzzles, and working on a team to get things done. Although I think the people that have both in spades are something else, and I have a deep admiration for them.
