    KR1573N My dyslexia and spatial/visual mind always made math hard, and I assumed programming would be the same. After a couple years of CSS, I discovered that Sass could *do math for me.* I don't have to solve the problem, just describe it. That's programming, & I can do it. :)

      KR1573N By defining variables and objects, you can create really concrete story problems with understandable names and relationships. And I don't have to do the number part, just define the story. By adding a layer of abstraction, programming can actually make math less abstract!
