25 years after graduation in CS I’m still waiting for the Pumping Lemma to have any relevance to my work as a dev.

Get a job in scientific computing then

Even stuff like simulation engines can make a grown man cry

I’m glad I don’t have to cry. I was just terrified initially that to do this kind of work you had to be really good at maths and stuff, but actually you’re just taking user input and putting it in a database, then getting it out later to show back to the user, fluffing stakeholders, and often rewriting the code you already did in a new framework or architecture that looks good on your resume.
