But that's what happens when you think that "All > programming is about solving trivial math problems". A lot of times, programming involves connecting "trivial problems in an advanced way". Sorting a list of names would be needed for a dropdown, letter or word counts are usually used to limit how much text a user can input, and averages are useful for any kind of data summary. While they're not /everything/ in programming, knowing the basics (or being able to figure it out easily) can definitely help you out. They're also fun to figure out in my opinion.

Yeah, AI is very very annoying and not a good replacement for coders. -- user is generated from /dev/urandom
