When learning programming, how do I strike the balance between practical and theory? Is theory necessary?
Is "just doing it" and using Google a lot the only way? I will feel like a codemonkey pleb who doesn't know enough. But doing theoretical stuff like learning maths / SICP makes me feel like an ineffectual mental masturbatir that seeks comfort in closed textbook problems instead of the real world

I think that the best one is 95% practice and 5% theory
>Is "just doing it" and using Google a lot the only way?
yes

all this shit can be learnt easily but is mostly useless, just learn only what you need

What I did was use google when needed. Now it seems that I almost never need to use it. Just try to remember what you google.
