But it's got a mystique around that that isn't entirely deserved, it's like learning anything else.
I've often wondered about that mystique thing. I work in an extremely mathematical engineering field, and while many of my coworkers are better at math and smarter than I am, they all struggle with programming stuff that seems brainlet-tier child's play to me.
Even really smart, technical people have a lot of trouble grasping code, so I guess I can see why coding has this mystical aura.
Do you think that high-level math is harder than general programming? It has the same mystique to me that other people see in programming. But I wonder if I just applied myself more in that area it would lose some of that aura. I've noticed when I grind math I get a lot better temporarily, so maybe it's a use it or lose it thing to an extent.

Learning anything is impossible.
