The best predictor of university physics scores is high school English scores. Why? Physics is about relationships. Sure, there's math. But it's about understanding the big picture, and the relationships between the pieces. It's about how to convince the math to solve the physics problem. I suspect the same thing is true for programming. People who randomly type until it compiles can get programming jobs. They can even do well at large corporations. People who understand the relationships do less coding. But the coding they do is more likely to be correct.
