I'm sorry if you find me pedantic, but I'm honestly trying to get a point across - and obviously failing. This discussion has been frustrating for me because I thought my point was self-evident, but most of your responses seem like non-sequiturs to me. I also think you're being unnecessarily sarcastic and antagonistic - Mt. Olympus and the like.

ahh, I'm just ribbing ya.

You do have a point, which I agree with, learning about complexity theory is a tremendously useful skill to have as a developer.

Is it required to be a good one? You say yes (absolutely), I say no (but it doesn't hurt).

Fair enough?
