I have a Bachelor's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, a Master's degree in Computer Science, and most of what I do code-wise I learned by doing. The academic background helps to structure thoughts, but getting a few hundred thousand lines of code under your belt is more important for learning how to actually produce things than any number of classes are. Just don't get stuck in how your first 100,000 lines worked and think that's how coding "should" be. It's good to have your mental model of how coding "should" work upturned every few years. It keeps the brain flexible.
