As someone who spends time programming, I of course find myself in conversations with people who aren’t as familiar with it. It doesn’t happen all the time, but these discussions can lead to people coming up with some pretty wild misconceptions about what programming is and what programmers do.

      There’s a wide variety of types of programming. It’s nice that the core concepts can carry across between the disparate branches.

      If I’m doing a particular custom view I’ll end up using sin cos tan for some basic trig but that’s about as complex as any mobile CRUD app gets.

      I’m sure there are some math heavy mobile apps but they’re the exception that proves the rule.
