In high school I was pressured by teachers to avoid programming because I was bad at math and good at writing. I currently audit kernels and network stacks for bugs everyone else missed and go home to read linguistics books for fun. I’m still bad at math.

@0xabad1dea I’m good with words and can barely manage arithmetic. In the 15 years that I’ve been coding, my math handicap has rarely been relevant, and has never amounted to more than a bump in the road.
I’m only one data point, but also a happy one. 😄
