It is interesting, isn't it? This is why I love computing as a field; the whole "spectrum" from theory to practice is just super fascinating.

Yes. Took my first computer class in 1978. Fortran of all things. Hooked immediately. Considered CS, but actually went the Science side of things doing a combination of design, simulation, instrument control, and machine control. Whatever was needed. Lot of changes in hardware, software, languages, etc. on one hand but on the other hand not so much. At some level it has all been the same.
