There was a time when you—bright-eyed and full of hope—chose math because it promised elegance, logic, and complexity. You pictured yourself solving differential equations, working on groundbreaking algorithms, or maybe even revolutionizing machine learning.
Instead? You’re six cups of coffee deep, debugging a missing semicolon in a 12,000-line legacy codebase that predates your college degree.
Welcome to the Math Major’s Coding Crisis™.
So, to all the math majors out there debugging their sanity: we see you. You traded blackboards and theorems for IDEs and error logs, and somewhere in that chaos, you’re still doing real problem-solving—even if it involves semicolons more than sigma notation. Just remember: there’s elegance in survival, too.
