lol, I feel you, but what I’m trying to say is you often don’t need to know concepts like P vs. NP for work other than an extreme baseline “is this gonna take forever if I throw more data at it?” I am not saying it’s not useful, just that for lots of work it’s not always super useful to know. Computer science as a field of study is much more mathy than a lot of fields of dev work. Then again, you’ve got other fields where it’s more important. Like I’m sure folks doing 3d graphics need to know a lot more trigonometry than I do as a backend engineer.
