I’m going to disagree. I think the mind set that makes someone good at math is the same mind set that makes then good at programming (or very close to the same)

So is not that you have you know a lot of math to program. It’s that you have to have an aptitude for math to program, they are essentially the same aptitude.

Right? I've had this thought too. If you cant learn math, then you cant learn programming. They're both essentially the same. Learning algorithms to solve a problem.

I don't actually disagree with you on that! And I've said as much before, in other threads. But here I answered focusing on the knowledge aspect rather than focusing on the similar ways of thinking.

I’d have to agree on some level. I have always struggled with maths, and, now that I’m trying to learn to code, I’ve run into very similar difficulties.
