I don't think we "don't like math", but in my case, I just need an accelerated version of the "math" that I need without the deep-dive.

Here's a crazy idea that machine learning might one day help with software engineers understanding algorithms and data structures.

You write some code to traverse a list or something and do some naive sorting, or maybe you're "everyday way of doing some operations on your lists is inefficent". I want some cool machine learning where I can submit my code and it does analysis.

I think Microsoft is working on that. https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/07/microsofts-new-intellicode...

Let's take it a step further. Explain to the programmer why what their doing is wrong.

I would pay big bucks for a "machine intelligence" IDE
