I think a better way to phrase the point that the original post was trying to make is "If you're bad at math as it is taught in elementary/secondary school in the US, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be bad at software development." It also never claims that math isn't useful, which is what this author is spending a lot of time trying to refute. It just says that you don't necessarily need to know/understand a lot of advanced math in order to write a CRUD app, which should be obvious.

"The love of methodical problem solving that you can discover in software development can help you overcome your math anxiety"

- anaphor 13y agoIf you're bad at math as it is taught in elementary/secondary school in the US, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll be bad at actual math either. And if you're bad at actual math, you're almost definitely going to suck at writing good software I'm afraid.
