Linear Programming vs Genetic Algorithms
Developers should learn linear programming when building systems that require optimal resource allocation, such as supply chain optimization, scheduling, financial portfolio management, or network flow problems meets developers should learn genetic algorithms when tackling optimization problems with large search spaces, non-linear constraints, or where gradient-based methods fail, such as in machine learning hyperparameter tuning, robotics path planning, or financial portfolio optimization. Here's our take.
