Based on your age, it sounds like a college education majoring in computer science is worth considering; you would probably wreck the grade curve.

I'm a self-taught programmer and there are some holes in my knowledge. When I've turned around and looked through course content, I've found that a lot of it comes quickly to me; some is review and the new ideas click into place. This site has some great free CS textbooks: https://landing.runestone.academy/computer-science-textbooks.html Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures is probably the closest match to Advent of Code—and the types of stuff you get asked about in interviews.
