Self taught backend dev here. What's the best DIY way to get a CS background?

Hey folks. Self-taught backend dev here. I learned to code and got hired off LinkedIn thanks to my Github projects and fire in the belly. Sometimes my love of coding feels like a drug addiction :)

I've learned a lot from my first job but I get the sense that there are some things I'm missing out on with no formal CS education. I also work a lot and don't have a ton of free time.

Are there any recommendations that y'all might have for getting up to speed, or leveling up as an engineer? I work mostly in Python and Bash these days, but am open to any resources you think would be good.

edit: added better title
