> How does not studying CS relate to being able to build a CPU/compiler/ray tracer?
I think it directly relates. University or not, I’m pretty sure you’ll need to study some amount of computer science to do this.
And then slightly related- When I was in college, I was able to deep dive into subjects like higher-limit just intonation and schenkerian analysis (music theory).
So to what you’re saying, I think you’re right. When the parent of my original comment said “fail”, really that’s just “giving up”, whether it be lack of time, lack of interest, or a lack of creative problem solving.
