Not at all. There are people who are good at mathematical thinking, who can independently solve very complex problems, etc., but do not know how to program properly, or they can only use specialized tools for mathematical or statistical calculations (Fortran, R, Matlab).
Programming obviously has a different set of skills, although a good programmer doesn't get far without math (there are a lot of questions on the topic "does a programmer need math", you can read this lowing of losers).
At the dawn of programming, when the profession had not yet stood out, mathematicians were often involved in it.
Many years have passed since then. So now it's not true anymore.
Although there is a similarity - both there and there there is a so-called. abstract thinking.
