I get pissed off reading the ‘weird takes’ on mathematics from people who come from the tech world and don’t know what they’re talking about (but for some reason think they do). Not only is it just painful to read; it’s actively harmful.
Mathematicians are largely ignorant of software and are aware of and will freely admit to their own ignorance, but for some reason the software engineers here are largely ignorant of mathematics AND think they know it inside out.
It sounds like you’re actually more well informed than most. Don’t take my comments personally, in any case.
