Serious title: I’m scared of math but I want nothing more than to teach my dropout ass to code so I can stop stocking Shelves and become marketable/desirable to a country that isn’t literally a decade or so away from gassing me.

If it helps, i vibed with python real hard in a 101 course, but all that hexadecimal shit kicked my ass when I signed up for a 103 being cocky and all.

    I've never needed any math beyond basic algebra on anything I've tried to work on (but I'm not a programmer by trade). My attempt at an Information Systems degree only had a pre-calculus requirement, which was interesting (though it kicked my ass so hard I had to take it twice) but absolutely had zero use in any of the actual computer/programming classes that the degree required.

    Also, it turns out that the Information Systems was more geared to IT management than actual coding. So I definitely didn't get as much out of that attempt at a degree as I wanted (and wasted about eight years to boot.)
