Cliff Notes: Learn Math, I didn't, but still can do dev work, but I really regret it.

I know almost nothing, really. I stopped taking math classes around 16/17 years old, I just wasn't able to grasp it and gave up.

Double majored at Uni in CS & Geography which allowed me to pass over all the mathematical CS courses. If you can't substitute out the math heavy papers with papers from another course, over your whole `X` years studying, then you better upskill as best as you can or it will be tough going.

But here I am in a dev job, that I got because it's hard to find geographers who can code, with my biggest regret being that I did not get enough of a mathematical understanding earlier on. It is such a useful and universal skill, it is a pity not to be confident in applying it. But the best thing is that if you work with a solid team you will have people around you to fill in your weaknesses, and you can fill in theirs.

You can get by without it, if you find a niche you can specialize in where coders are hard to come by, but you will find yourself really needing it and having to pass work on to someone else or finding some library.
