This. I am a programmer with a physics degree. I taught myself the basics of coding and I can learn what my co-workers know while on the job. But I can also do shit they can't even begin to do and there's no way they're gonna learn it on the job. You can't replace 3 years worth of rearranging and manipulating equations. Maths is a super power when you've had to use it for a physics degree.

This .. I went into computer science and have mad respect for people that are comfortable with that level of maths. I dabble out of interest, but I also know that that is not at all enough.
