You’re talking to a 40 year old with no future working three minimum wage jobs who will be homeless if any of them let him go.
Well that’s a wild assumption.
Be kinder to fellow working class people. Hold the capitalists responsible for creating this situation in the first place.
I am kind, I promise. Voices often get raised at me when confirming my order, and I stay calm anyway. I’m not obligated to get yelled at for simply trying to place an order.
You’d be surprised how little math is involved in programming that doesn’t require it. A significant majority of programming is simply managing conditionals. For example: “when the door opens, turn on the light.”
Math comes into place when you need it, and hardly ever comes as a surprise. Additionally, solved problems are generally kept in libraries. For example, you don’t need to calculate a sum; simply tell it to calculate a sum for you, because this is a solved problem.
What you’re already running into is called “impostor’s syndrome.” You believe that you are not capable of something to some degree, even though reality says otherwise. You haven’t tried your hand at programming, so why worry now? You’re inventing problems for yourself before you even got a chance to start.
Just go for it and see what you think. If you don’t enjoy it, no biggie. If you do enjoy it, keep going. No obligations 👌
