As a software nerd with more white than red hair, I found the innate parallelism of hardware to be brilliantly liberating and would spend all my time playing with systolic algorithms if I could. In my experience, professors who observe students learning programming seem to think their students are almost uniquely hopeless. Which is kinda weird given how widespread the skill of programming has become. One might suppose that programming instructors expect a system to respond deterministically to a set of instructions and throw up their hands when students fail in that regard...
