Advantages to Learning the Theoretical Side of Computer Science?

I've been interested in the theoretical side of computer science for a while but is there any real advantage to learning it in depth? By the theoretical side of computer science I mean algorithms, data structures, encoding, system architecture etc. I know data structures are taught in the courses anyway due to arrays etc but can learning theoretical computer science benefit you when programming?

yes if u find it interesting then dont hesitate to learn it there is no downside if this instead u will only get better in programming.
