Obviously YMMV, but if I think on myself without CS degree, I'll probably: Be comfortable programming in Java/C#, learned Scala and trying to learn FP. Learned about big O notation. But wouldn't know: why you should NEVER use float/double to represent money How databases work That NoSQL conceptual model predates the relational model. Dependent types Category theory Overall, a good CS degree exposes you to things you don't know you don't know (a big pitfall in self study) I really respect the self taught devs, because they have to work harder for it.
