I really don’t think this is that different from how a lot of us learned to code though. I learned by writing html and PHP specifically to solve a problem of having a website. The only difference I see is that the average CS student has to write reliable and working code as their career, while quants and statisticians tend to think that code is just a means to the end. Both are right I’d say depending on the problem.
