Math-y and/or word-y

▤ Summary

Further, I suspect that over the past two decades the number of programmers with science-y backgrounds has steadily declined. State machines reduce many kinds of logic problems to simple, but math-y, flowcharts. Computer graphics is a heck of a lot of trigonometry (and whatever is involved in calculating diffusion of light). The flip side is also true: developers who think they only enjoy the math-y parts do a lot more language/liberal artsy stuff than they think. They’ve got opinions about language constructs, whether a method name is good or not, if an API is easy to use correctly or not.
