I doubt Pythagoras would show up very often outside of domain problems, but basic logic and polynomials, logarithms etc shows up everywhere where you do algorithms and data structures. Math is a language and a developer will get a code review explaining something using that language (complexity etc). You can do without it but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea not to simply know those things. It’s not years and years of math, it’s a tiny bit.
