> I'm not really a programmer. All my training is in abstract math

Back in mainframe days, that training would've been the easiest way to get work as a programmer. Nowadays, much "programming" is gluing together pre-written open source stuff using glue languages like Bash, Javascript or Groovy by staff who entered programming as business people transferring from other departments then left a big mess for someone else to clean up when they used their embellished experience to get another job, probably with "architect" in its job title, somewhere else. If you've done any hobbyist stuff using something like Lisp or Haskell, then think twice before saying you're "not really" a programmer.
