We don't need "more theory". The vast majority of computer science theory goes unapplied in solving real-world problems. While I'm sure this is great for postgrad computer science students, it's not very useful for the every day programmers out there.

>We don't need "more theory". The vast majority of computer science theory goes unapplied in solving real-world problems The sheer amount of rewriting that is being done every day around the world because people didn't bother understanding what they were doing (and how they should have thought more before trying to make it work) disagrees with this.

The ones which can't understand basic theory can be easily condemned to always be mere users of tools while never improving them. They run a greater risk of becoming obsolete or devalued.
