Vice really does a disservice to the author. "All" math is not wrong, but I sure wish theorem provers were the preferred method of formalizing mathematics. But theorem provers really aren't quite ready for prime time either. But it sure feels like a lot of verification of mathematics is somewhat repetitive.
I think that programming/CS is to mathematics what neolithic revolution was to human culture. It allows for specialization in the stack. People can obsessively optimize different parts of the stack to everyones benefit.
