You're one of the computer scientists I respect a whole lot in the industry right now (the others including Bjarne, Scott Meyers, et al) because you have a really great amount of practical experience and theoretical knowledge, and combine them in such a way that is really informative and shows in your talks on C++.

The computer scientists in my university have really no appreciation for the many practical applications and can barely code to save their life, and I'm only kept sane by books like yours, Herb's, Scott's and Bjarne's. Any thoughts on how computer scientists can be as balanced like you with respect to theory and practice?

My question is: Any thoughts on how computer scientists can be as balanced like you/Bjarne/Scott with respect to theory and practice?
