As a web developer with degrees in both math and programming, I sometimes find direct applications of math, such as backing off from updating something on the page exponentially when the user goes AFK, or more commonly, when working with visualizations (see d3.js). For the most part, my peers without much of a math background could solve the same problems in other ways. For more graphics-oriented stuff it gets a little harder but often a library plus a tutorial blog post gets the job done.
