I think you missed a "don't" that would be required before the quote.
Many people actually think programming and math are unrelated. I try to explain that logic matters, and the more logic you learn, the better off you are...
But the truth is, many things can be coded these days without a lot of logic and thought. Most of the hard work (the infrastructure) is provided for you, and even some non-trivial apps can be written these days just by plugging away at it until it works.
The real meat of programming, the stuff I enjoy, takes a lot of logic, math, and creativity. Sometimes all at once. Those are the best times.
