I am not sure what you mean by "self-taught developer", but from the beginning of my CS degree, I have been learning my own with the help of online resources.
Next thing is that, I am always afraid to apply for the jobs where the ask to solve these sort of problems to apply specific algorithm. I know my limitation and would ingenuously say that I lack the knowledge these algorithm based solution.
Finally, you got to know that you didn't get selected. One month ago, I was interviewed by the HR and on the same day had a technical interview. I was informed that I will be notified if I can't make it within 15 days. On the 12th day, they asked me to complete an offline coding test/assignment. It's been 20 days and they didn't reply yet. And I am not sure when they will get back with the result.
If you haven't heard back in that long there are two possibilities:
You didn't get the job.
You are through to the next stage but something has gone wrong communicating that to you.
You should get in touch with them to find out which it is. If if the first then contacting them won't hurt as you already don't have the job and you might get some feedback. If it's the second then contacting them is a good thing because they do want you and don't realist that something has gone wrong.
If they are still deliberating then really it's situation 1 and it won't hurt your chances to get in touch any way to see what's going on.
No problem, here is the "Is it over" email template from my book, might be of some use.
Dear contactName,
I’m conscious we are a little over two weeks since our last conversation and I’m hoping to get a status update on my application.
I understand that things can get caught up internally however I have other applications that are progressing and I’m keen to know where I stand with companyName as, while you are my first choice, I need to know if it’s time to move on.

Anyway, it was a nice write up. Cheers.

Thanks man for the suggestion. I'll try to get in touch with them then.
