coding is actually very difficult, especially for people who are bad at math
I disagree tbh. I’m a software dev with 20+ years of experience and I think most coding is not very difficult relative to other jobs. The problem is that coding requires specific motivation because the information breadth is insane compared to other professions and that becomes incredibly overwhelming for many people are not stubborn in a specific sort of way.
I think you have a point here regarding corellation between low-quality questions and people “who don’t want to be here” - that’s probably true.
Though people generally really suck at describing their issues and that goes way beyond code. LLMs are making this even more apparent because a dude who can describe everything is having a great time and others just yell “LLMs suck and have no value” so the difference is crazy.
There’s something with our society where introspection and detail is not natural and very difficult to learn for some people.
Agreed. There are definitely many areas of software to do require/benefit from good math skills. But software is an incredibly diverse field. Kids, if you’re interested in programming/software, there are plenty of areas you can do just fine in with varying levels of math skills.
