But I’ve realized since that while math is one lens you can view programming through, if it’s the only one you use, it’s quite limiting.

There are no facts; everything is relative to your frame of reference; rationality is a lie. Sometimes I wish the world was as easy as math.

But it’s not. That’s what makes it beautiful though. Tradeoffs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can change your mind. I can help you understand mathematics.

I went deep on math in college. I understand it pretty well. Ultimately, though, as a way to view programming, I found it too limiting.

If you limit yourself to believing types are not propositions, or that programs are not proof, you're not just a little bit wrong. It's factually wrong (facts do indeed exist).

Math is a model many folks use for programming. It makes clear & obvious some aspects of it, while de-emphasizing & obscuring others.

Other models make different aspects of programming obvious, and in so doing, reveal different truths than the math model.

Those aren’t any more true (or false) than what the math model reveals; they’re just different aspects of a wonderfully complex process.

I hope some day you can see beyond the math, to all the rest of it. It’s really quite marvelous.

What "rest of it"? Do you not think I have been in the trenches, talking all the other stuff? I am simply stating a matter of fact. You are free to deny it of course. The facts are unaffected by this.
