I think the deeper idea to take away from this is that knowing more theory is always a good thing

- carterschonwald 19y agowhich begs the question of why it seems that even in pretty technical domains, theres still an aversion to aggressive use of theory tools?
- brent 19y agoWhat does this have to do with theory?
- carterschonwald 19y agoif you don't know any of the theory behind a problem, you don't even necessarily know if theres a solution thats useful in practice. A good example in Computer Science is the various reductions (efficient or not )between different problems, where you relate the difficulty of the problem to any other computational problem which you find you're able to encode within the structure of the orginal problem.
