If you are not a DBA and did not get a BSCS, ask yourself this question - when people speak of relational databases - what is a relation? Then look up the answer, which is rather simple (don't reply with it here, unless you rot13 it or something). Maybe ask engineers with a few years experience. Were they right?
Where does the concept of regular expressions come from? Can you explain why you can't use regular expressions as an all-purpose HTML parser?
I took 1 1/2 semesters on critical sections, race conditions and such. I deal with these problems all the time, and have seen much code where people either never learned about it, or didn't learn it properly.
I had the idea once to hash a short list of small numbers as a Goedel number. Looking around I see the idea was not original (in other places I use triangular numbers etc.) I would never have known about those without CS.
Yes you have to keep learning more. It is a good foundation to start from though.
