is this pajeet right?
is math that important?
I doubt majority of this meme board would be able to do anything more advenced that addiction
>Right now, there’s a cultural push to untie the historical link between advanced math and programming that could partially deter engineers from entering the field. But those who have a strong foundation in math will have the best jobs of the future. Let’s stop separating math from programming for short-term relief and, instead, focus on fundamental, unchanging truths with which we’ll engineer the future.

Being well-versed in math is the only thing that separates a good programmer from a pajeet that has memorized the entire specification of Java but can only write cumbersome and unoptimized code.

The most valuable positions in the near future are in machine learning / data science and those are applied and theoretical mathematics. It also helps a lot if you know what makes a good algorithm fast. If you just want to be the low level guy implementing stuff then sure you won't need as much math knowledge. But you won't be the one taking decisions and leading projects.

No. It's one of the two things. Basic engineering skills are needed as well. And I mean basic. The number of outsourced projects I've seen that failed at very basic engineering is staggering.

What kind of math are we talking about? Calculus, Diff EQ? all irrelevant for a programming job unless you are going into writing math software. Now Discrete Math, Logic, and Statistics I use all the time.
