Pure math fag here trying into CS because muhjobs/ general interest.

They don't need you to be a code monkey. Leverage your math skills. They are much harder to find than some random CS code monkey.

I'd like to read SICP too. Someone start a reading group!

True, but don't most jobs outside academia require some coding skill? I know it os probably better to know C++ to implement numerical algorithms, but figure I would like to know more than your average python monkey.

Pivot into statistics/machine learning/AI

that's an introductory CS book pick it up whenever you like

Yes. Also ignore that guy, he's clearly an undergrad. You'll almost certainly be a code monkey, not that theres anything wrong with that, most of /sci/ will end up code monkeying.

This was an introductory book to CS (not to programming per se).
Most CS monkeys find it too hard because muh maths, but since you're a pure math fag this should be easy for you.
