I'm no mathematician or physicist but have often wondered of Godhart's Law[0] during testing of complex distributed systems.

I am a professional mathematician myself, and I doubt I could manage it even within a year.

I'm a little disconcerted by the fact that no-one involved in this is a mathematician, full stop.

Consider other fields: - Is everyone suited to be a mathematician?

The narrative of this piece is really great -- that the most charismatic mathematician around just up and decided to reinvent himself as a charismatic person.

Is there a difference between the sort of logic that a mathematician would need to know and the kind that would be appropriate for a philosopher?

As an example of what I mean, the word 'mathematician' usually refers to someone who works as an academic in a University department and teaches advanced mathematics and who contributes research.

I have a mathematician friend who does a bit of programming ask me about Docker, as someone had told her to use it.

Alexander is both an architect and mathematician.

To be fair, though, I'm a mathematician, not a professional programmer.

Yes, Simons did that, but a normal description would be "former mathematician".

One of the top comments, unfortunately very inflammatory: "If Witten wasn't a mathematician he would have been a serial killer." I supposed this is referring to his unorthodox mannerisms of speech.
