@bscross32@tweesecake.social My apologies, I wasn't intending for that to be offensive or even that controversial.
I've made both a career and a hobby out of software development and my lack of math ability has never held me back. I haven't built a music synthesiser or video game with realistic physics, but I think I've built some pretty cool and impactful things.
I was treating it as a given that if you want to model complex concepts within your code, you will need to have a working understanding of those concepts or have support from people who do (e.g. on a team). Maybe I should've been more explicit about that.

@jscholes@dragonscave.space @matt@toot.cafe I wasn't offended, I've just heard that line before and I don't quite buy it is all. If you don't struggle with programming concepts, but you do struggle with math, somewhere along the line, I feel like you'll hit that wall.
