Wow - This article made me think I identify with and act as a mathematician much more than I would've thought. I only started programming six years ago, but the way the author talks about breaking down problems, building frameworks and tool, and using multiple methods of attacks from an arsenal of knowledge that builds up over time, and how specific problems are not as interesting as insights into the general case -- these are all exactly the directions I find myself moving in as a programmer that just feel 'natural'.
