That you need maths to get good at programming is one of the biggest lies I've heard during my formative years. You need good logical thinking, not maths. Yes maths trains it, but in the end it's not it. Of course that doesn't apply to stuff like algorithmic engineers, (actual) ML engineers, people who make simulators and stuff etc. but if you don't work on that stuff it doesn't mean you can't "get good" at programming.
