This has been exactly my experience. The only difference is I got books from the local library. I have the same nostalgia for working through Pascal and assembly language books while hunched over an old 386 as a teen. Now, it's much more about how fast I can generate value. Probably speaks equally well to the process of growing up as it does to how learning programming has changed.
