You have to be great with maths to be a developer.

I guess that depends. If you have to write algorithms, signal processing and so on it would help greatly to be good at Math. If you are doing web apps or generic applications it might not matter much.

Which is why it's a common falsehood that gives people the perception of it.

To me, if you are inventing or dealing with the deep tech with the bleeding age technology. It's a yes if not it's a hell no.

Then again I'm biased since I had suffered greatly in classes for my university during algorithm classes or anything maths-related modules in school while I was growing up.
