I keep hunting for opportunities where I can write *sensible* code, but most of the time its pretty much dumb. Sometimes it scares me and sometimes when I read posts like that of Jeff's that you had quoted, I feel consoled. I guess I’m not as lucky as you.

I can't find the logic behind these kind of statements, making coding look dead simple and for everybody. In my experience, having a good logical mind (which takes years to develop) is the most essential capability of programmers, which is not gained without enough Math exercises. Of course everybody can code and have fun, but as no one being able to balance his checkbook can function as a reliable accountant, no one without deep understanding of mathematics can become a reliable developer.
