       Saying that programming is math is like saying that cooking, carpentry or playing music are math. Yes math are everywhere, we get it, but the world is more than numbers and formulas. Programming is of course about using language to describe behaviour. Being good at math has never been a good predictor of software engineering skills. Ask anyone working in this industry.

       @galdor@fosstodon.org As a person working in the industry I would say that when people who are bad at maths write software, the result always is an utter crap. All modern software is a living proof of it.

       @vikingkong As someone who also works in the industry, I spent way too much time having to deal with shitty software built by people who think that their math skills are a substitute for software engineering skills.

       @galdor@fosstodon.org In computer programming, the predisposition to math is not "necessary and sufficient", but it doesn't mean it's not necessary.
