but through *working* at it, i got to be pretty good at it. the same is true with math. math isn’t any different than art. you just have to work at it.

also with my art/graphics background, i’ve found that i make a better programmer/architect… because i’ve trained my brain to also think in abstracts, of bigger pictures, of being able to see the picture, in its finished state, before its even started. many programmers don’t have this ability and often get mired in the details (which don’t get me wrong, details are important) and lose sight of what the bigger objective.

so yes, math is learnable as art is learnable. both just take a lot of practice to get good at.
