Makes so much more sense, and I can think about that in software quite easily.  I&#x27;ve been working professionally in software for 20 years, and programming as a hobby for about 13 years before that.  As a kid, I got in to programming early on, but never really grokked &#x27;math&#x27; as a formal thing, and while I know I can do a lot of &#x27;math stuff&#x27;, I don&#x27;t know the lingo very well above algebra stuff.<p>It&#x27;s a bit hard &quot;confessing&quot; that sort of stuff in a forum like this amongst loads of people who likely are all demonstrably smarter than me in multiple disciplines, and many of whom are self-taught as well.  I feel like I should have a &#x27;kick me&#x27; sign on me at times - perhaps this is the famed &quot;impostor syndrome&quot;?
