This parallels a lot of my experience. I moved into physics because I realised that I loved coding only when the problems and technologies interested me. While I found CS problem sets boring, being able to use my coding in physics was endlessly exciting. Even more than that though, being able to apply a CS mindset to physics problems when no-one else in the lab would was always fun in itself.
