Language Aptitude Not Math Predicts Programming Skill

I guess it depends who you are talking about. Computer Scientists are generally great at math, but it doesn't mean they are good programmers. A good programmer has style: from how the code looks, to how it is arranged, test, regressed... to how defensive the code is to soft-failures. I've worked with spectacular computer scientists who wrote compiler kernels, but their code looked like a big pile of... well, you get it.

Makes sense, as naming is the one of the two hardest problems in programming!

(the other is maintaining distributed cache consistency and catching off-by-one-errors :D)

Agreed! Questions though... about two... is this two where two comes from 0,1,2 ?

Also, on a relational note, what kind of “and” are you using?

‘Could be my isolation talking, but the further I look into this comment the more dad/logic jokes I see. Caveat: am dad.

Eh hem... I will see myself out.

In general, you don't need to be exceptional at math for doing programming. A basic understanding of arithmetic is sufficient. Okay, perhaps if you work with numerical analysis on daily basis, or doing type theory/lambda calculus/any theoritical computer science stuffs.
