I failed mathematics in school, for the life of me I can't grasp them beyond the basics, but give me laptop and a copy of Sublime and I'll code anything you want. I can code, but I would fail any mathematical test given to me. This kind of approach has always bothered me, there are a lot of good developers out there bad at maths but posses strong problem-solving and highly analytical skills.
Being a developer is 80% Google and 20% actual coding knowledge. We are hackers at the end of the day, not miniature Einstein's with encyclopaedias for brains.
- gboudrias 13y agoI've always felt like I was supposed to like maths, but I learned (basic) programming before I learned algebra, and I couldn't figure out how I would be using it. After years of being a programmer, I still can't.
