Is it true that people who suck at math suck at programming?

Yes.

Absolutely.

I will quote >>56420625.

Yup. Even web designers. So many dumb faggots who don't know basic geometry, proportions, and percentage calculation, fucking up web pages.

It's the other way around.

Math nerds can't program for shit.

There's no meme here. Math grads aren't taught anything about proper programming practices and write horrible code.
>>
Actually, programming is mostly done in languages thus linguistics is the actual programming major; and the only things that are bad in programming are maths; they write unreadable and bad code, they had some purpose but now it's fully lost

thanks

what was the title of his lecture though?

I was kinda surprised when a coworker thought that positioning and scaling logic was literal magic, especially since I've been coding that since 1st year uni.

Some people just need to know how to code well enough to solve the particular problem at hand and not so much to make it intuitive for boomers and single moms to use.

You can tell me which skill is more important to have.
>>
>>56421095
Don't know. The paper doesn't state that.
>>
>>56421113
Math nerds are so defensive. CS grads don't need to think about making code follow both of those principles.
>>
>>56420851
>fucking up FizzBuzz
You encounter this midway through Codecademy's JS module.
What the honest to god fuck?

Good luck programming embedded, distributed, real time artificial intelligence with that.
>>
>>56420618
I guess it depends on what kind of programming they do and what you mean by them sucking at math, but there's certainly a correlation between math skill and programming skill in the general population.
>>
>>56421024
As a math grad I tend to agree. Most people I've done programming projects with have been absolute shit, and my code is probably a joke compared to that of real programmers. Most of my programming skills come from my spare time and not from studies, and I took more programming classes than most math grads.

I haven't been that impressed by compsci people either, but in my experience electrical engineers tend to be top tier programmers.

There's my laugh for the day.

>Not double majoring
>Not pursuing a computer engineering degree after you graduate with math and cs degrees

I feel bad for y'all.

>implying you can get two undergraduate degrees from any good uni

You should study and know math regardless what field you're going into yes even Fine Arts stop whining
