Mostly agree with the article. Being myself fascinated with machine learning and in the process of refreshing mathematic knowledge I haven't used since university (too many years ago) in order to dive deeper into it, I can definitely relate. However, I think the main point is not that software developers should all hone their academic math skills (that would be probably be pointless for many if not most software developers), but rather that it would be best if software developers would strive to follow the scientific mindset when developing software - In my experience, occam's razor is just as important in software development (design, architecture, algorithms, testing, you name it) as it is in physics, chemistry or other sciences and it is this aspect (which I feel is the most basic and most important) that gets lost sometimes in the noise of software development trends and fashions.
