+63 You're not a humanities person, you're just bad at math, amirite?

I've never heard anyone call themselves a "humanities person". I don't really know what your point is. It just feels like you're too concerned with who the smartest person/people are.

A lot of insecurity coming through here, mate. You're not the best at everything just because you're good at math. Get a grip.

Coulda woulda shoulda still applies to STEM people who can't accept the slightest criticism of their abilities and desperately need to imagine themselves superior. Meanwhile, no one has ever described themselves as a "humanities person".

It takes a STEM person to criticize another STEM person's abilities, others have no clue anyways.

Well I suppose only accepting feedback for their terrible communication skills from people who have the same terrible skills explains their inability to do it

I'm a humanities person who made a lucrative career out of working with people who are good at math. Because almost all of them aren't humanities people

On a tangent, but math/CS shares a ton of similaries with music/composition. In essence, sheet music is a type of coding language with logical rules and mathematical measures. Each measure is an equation of notes and rests, that stack onto other instruments/section that compiles into a full program.

Coding is also like writing a never ending book where the chapters keep on becoming and more complex, and you'll spend hours trying to resolve a plot inconsistency you introduced in chapter 9 when adding something to chapter 4.

Believe me that being good at math means nothing much about being good at anything else. Just last week I was getting pissed over a government software, that was so difficult to use and non user friendly that I decided to visit the institution in person and sign my papers there, instead of signing them digitally with said software. To get a job as a software developer you have to have a degree in this country. And to get the degree, you have to be good at math, because the curriculum is mostly math. Yet, these graduates suck at everything but backend development. I'm sure that if they were so multi-talented, they could've learned something about UX too. But there goes the valuable skill... resulting in unusable things because other skills aren't that important. And there's a difference between reasoning and math. I always excelled in mathematical logic, but am generally bad at math.

4 years of humanities courses and I've never heard someone say anything even close to that
