  From my perspective, the key is really knowing your fundamentals. Strong skills in math (Linear Algebra, Calculus), physics, and even humanities and English all help.
  
  But the real learning comes from taking theory and building things from scratch, applying concepts in practical projects is what truly solidifies your CS education.
  
  You can give it a kickstart by:
  
  Solving random puzzles, doing quizzes, critically thinking about day to day things and communicating with people.
