Programming is not math?
I think the author is confusing mathematics and logic, as is the referenced blogger.

How would you distinguish mathematics from logic? Some very smart people [1] have thought they were deeply related.

Mathematics is a specific application of logic. Programming in general is closer to logic than math. But there is certainly a large set of programming that is mathematics-dependent (see above threads of people doing engineering programming).
Edit: application vs extension of logic.
