I think there are at least 2 programming worlds. One focused on strings. The other on numbers. This is even reflected in programming languages. I think most people in one of these worlds don't have an intuitive understanding of the needs of those in the other world.

In English, there are names for vertical & horizontal directions: up (↑), down (↓), left (←), right (→). AFAIK there aren't names for diagonal directions. Suppose someone could make them up. Of course, others would have to use them too. Maybe lup (↖), rup (↗), lown (↙) and rown (↘) :-)

You can go far in the beginning with intelligence, but obsessive-compulsiveness may be needed to keep going further after that, and to excel. For some things, intelligence is necessary but not sufficient.
