It's not possible to be a b tier programmer if you are bad at math.

is it possible? yes, but you would be a rather limited one, like you know, many of the "web artisans" I know, doesnt know shit about linear algebra and have limited knowledge of basic logic.

At least have the balls to learn logic so you can do basic branching without screwing it up.

You don't need anything beyond trig and intro discrete math for 99% of stuff

You can learn math. Might just take you a lot of effort.

I'm a full time web developer and I'm hopeless at math yet still make bank.

If you can understand baby tier discrete math and algebra that's all you need to know.

designing a visual interface to express new mathematical theories? yeah you're going to be fucking ass deep in math.

designing an interface for space X rockets? yeah you're gonna need some fucking math, probably physics too.

making a game? yeah you're going to need trig, maybe calculus and a basic understanding of quaternions/vector math

making a website? elementary math

>making a game requires building an engine and graphics libraries from scratch
The vast majority of game devs in industry don't even do this

You can become a web developer. A new dotcom crash will leave you without a job though.

>making a game requires building an engine and graphics libraries from scratch
who said anything about that?

If you want any type of sinusoidal movement, you'll need trig.

If you plan on manipulating anything in 3D space, Quaternions/Vector math.

Yes physics libs exist, but you'll want to know how to do -some- calculus if you want custom physics in certain areas, IE, verlet integration for chains.

This is just game logic. Has nothing to do with building some engine or creating a graphics lib from scratch.

i passed calculus and linear algebra exams
so if i am decent in calculus and linear algebra can i in to codemonkey?

what are the tiers

>The vast majority of game devs in industry don't even do this
which is why games are such shit

Yeah but he said programmer

depends on what you're going to be doing. for the most part, no.

probably, but math is just a means, not an end. The logic behind programming is just as important(data structures/algorithms/your language/so forth)

Nearly every AAA company builds their own in-house engine from scratch since they can afford to have a shit load of programmers.

Unrelated, but I've noticed recently that most AAA's can afford their own personal orchestra too.

I'm pretty sure that user was talking about indie or small time devs, which makes sense, as designing engines takes a long time and often isn't worth it if you arent using new technology/techniques.

Webdev is always hiring user.

But my mum says I'm a programmer

You can, but you have to have understanding of logic
Programming and math do have touching points, but most wanted skill in programming,imo is design and understanding of algorithms, so you know more about time and memory complexity, thus writing more eloquent programms

tldr; no, but you cannot also be a retard
