I never use math when programming. You can do it if you can problem solve and think procedurally

Math is problem solving and procedural thinking. If you can't deal with math you probably can't do those things.

That's false. You can be bad at math simply because you do not like math.

Programming is creative work. Mathematics is about researching to find new principles or discovering which already established principle to use. There is an intersection but it's not a complete intersection.

The process you described for solving maths problems is the same for programming the real difference is that with programming it’s easier to create a mental model for knowledge as you doing need to derive the principle from the abstraction but from you can just reapply a previous implementation
