I’m a self-taught developer. I’ve built dozens of apps for successful startups and then started my own dev shop where I hired dozens of engineers. I never had a formal CS education and I never looked for that in a resume.
If you’re doing anything web or mobile related it’s not necessary to study traditional CS.
