I've seen way too many examples where being good with discrete math would really help to write clean and fast code instead of whatever the fuck it was.
Discrete math was the only mathematics I actually enjoyed in any way. Calc + trig :live-slug-reaction:
Mostly because I was actually working on applications where the problems were discrete maths problems way before I ever had the option to take it in school.
On my current job I'm neck deep in calc, analytic geometry (with tons of trigonometry) and discrete math. It's sometimes very fun to decipher code that was written just a couple months ago.
computer science != good with computers
computer science ~= good with stupid brainfuck math olympiad/discrete math problems
