I think in many ways, though, the self-taught guys are going to be very adaptive and resourceful to learn new things. The difference in knowledge can often be compared to a self-taught home cook and a formally-trained cook.

I once had an intern that was a CS master degree student and while he was tackling neural networks in school, I showed him how to link to a DLL 3-times in C++ and he still couldn't figure it out on his own. It also shows you having a CS degree doesn't mean anything.

I think CS though will tell you how it works.
