If your algebra sucks it might be a sign that coding isn’t for you

\+1 day to day programming is most similar to algebra - abstraction and pattern matching. I think if you are going to be a really good programmer then you need this.

Try playing the game "Baba Is You" [https://hempuli.com/baba/](https://hempuli.com/baba/) \- don't need to love it, but if you do, then you can be a good programmer because it's all about abstraction and pattern matching with zero actual math.
