I think what's frustrating me about the "programming is/isn't maths" conversation is that there's false dichotomies at play
@ClarissaAdjoint There is denial of a formalised, well-established, decades-old, applicable matter of fact. There is nothing else.

@dibblego but I'm trying to deal with what people *mean* when they say that, which seems to be more about the education system than theory -
@ClarissaAdjoint They mean what they have been told is mathematics and programming. They are wrong on both accounts and continue to spread.

@dibblego everyone who's saying "programming isn't math" is trying to make some kind of point about math classes and learning programming -
@ClarissaAdjoint I understand the point. It is the deliberate conflation of facts that is objectionable. It perpetuates the silly nonsense. - Show replies
