But I had my safe, and tolerable, niche in electronics manufacturing,

My career started in the machine tool industry, which at the time was
mostly based on relay logic. As microcontrollers entered the mix, drawing
ladder diagrams and wiring up ice cube relays was replaced by programming.
Logic is logic.

With my first exposure to programming being FORTRAN IV and punch cards I
wasn't interested in programming. When it got to the point where I could
wire-wrap a board on the kitchen table and program it the field became
interesting.
