I agree. I've been spending a handful of months learning Ruby (done, but I need to do a lot of small exercises in the language to get used to solving problems in it) and Rails. I've made a small application which I know could be made better (and which didn't have testing). I've since learned much more (comfortable with RSpec + Capybara, associations between models, etc.). And I'm taking the edX SaaS courses, which should help supplement all of this. All that said, I'd love the opportunity to pair program in an environment like the one offered by epicodus.
