    I mean some people just freeze up around numbers. That’s not the end of the world as long as they know suck at that.

    Like I’m a programmer and I’m like comically bad at math. Like 3 Stooges bad. If I’m forced to do math on the spot I will expand a lot of energy figuring out exactly the wrong thing.

      Same! Senior dev here with both dyscalculia and dysgraphia. Numbers literally transpose for me, for example when I’m filling out a restaurant receipt and calculating tip+total. It’s wild.
