I’ve always flunked at math; and knowing how intertwined programming is with math, I’m skeptical of my ability to learn how to code. Can someone be too dumb to learn programming? If it helps, I’m mostly interested in learning Common Lisp.

I’m a front-end dev. I play with CSS until it’s close enough to the design I can get someone to sign off on it. I write tests too, and that doesn’t take much. My tech lead is literally afraid of switch statements. I’ve had coworkers not understand for loops and reject MRs. I still prefer using if statements instead of X ? Y : Z.
I’m pretty dumb, and I make 120k USD writing code.
Sure it’s possible to be too dumb, but that’s Forrest Gump levels of dumb.
To be fair, the ternary operator can get messy.
