I wanna take the chance asking this question while having so many physicists present in this sub: is the 'first principle thinking' approach to problem-solving

I wanna take the chance asking this question while having so many physicists present in this sub: is the 'first principle thinking' approach to problem-solving somewhat helpful outside academia? Is it a thing in the first place? Seems super interesting as a non-physicist, however it's hard to judge from the outside. Thanks for some insights.

It is for me. Product development and technology development with a deep understanding of thermodynamics and energy efficiency can be valuable. Heat kills a lot of things :)
