Wente certainly knows little about coding, and I doubt she knows much about the math she tries to uphold.

Math is not really about counting and numbers, but rather about logic and abstraction, often but not exclusively using numbers as the symbolic layer.  Solving math problems is no more and no less than an exercise in thinking straight.

Coding is also about logic and abstraction, using the keywords of the programming language as the symbolic layer.

In other words, coding -- all of computer science, really -- is a form of mathematics, pure or applied.

And coding is just as much as traditional school math an exercise in thinking straight.
