Well, I have the equivalent of dyslexia for math, dyscalculia. Like, when I see long numbers, I have to put my finger on the screen and read the numbers one by one to be able to read them, otherwise they just blur. However, I can code a little in C# and I can read Python and HTML/CSS and lots of bespoke engine stuff that comes with working on games that have bespoke engines.
Numbers are fucking hard, code and logic is something different. But numbers is what pretty much everybody thinks math is. It is not. Numbers are just helping math along. If you're bad with numbers, people think you're bad with math. You have math, like you said, in lots of things, but math education and CS education is sadly based on an understanding of numbers, not logic. Sorry, this turned into a rant. I'll stop now. Still didn't get over the fact I had to drop out of school because of this crap. Even though I wanted to graduate in languages.
The article is about coding, as in coding a website and obviously that is different from programming.
