100% agree with this. Anecdotally, I know a lot of people who would be great at programming but they'd never consider it because of their pre-conceived notion that they'd have to be good at math first.

I've never been particularly good at math, and learned enough to get by in my CS theory classes. I hardly ever use math to program, unless the problem is specifically math-based or geometry-based. To me, programming is communication and organization.
