Quite honestly? I’ll take a programmer who knows how to write intelligible code but knows no math before someone seasoned who writes hacky code using math “because it runs faster” any day. I, for one, suck as much as is possible to suck at math without my university forcibly kicking me out (I take CS, just to be sure everyone gets this), but that hasn’t stopped me from reaching out to the internet to learn how the Separating Axis Theorem works, just so I could implement a collision detection system.
My point is: programming is far more akin to written, human language than it is to math, but I don’t see many people acknowledging that.

this was encouraging, Thanks :] Math doesn’t come naturally to me but I’m working on it.
