Isn’t math just manmade abstractions as well? I’m not saying they’re equally hard (I think maths is harder too), but you seem to be overly simplifying programming, under the assumption that the system you are working with and building on is actually well designed, rather than what is actually more likely (a munge of SOME clean design with many layers of hacks on top). I think Maths is harder because the abstractions are higher level, have less intuitive bases, the feedback loop is longer and doesn’t have robust testing. I don’t think the abstractions themselves are that much harder in general, but getting an intuition and doing anything useful (correctly) at a really high level of abstraction is quite difficult.
