I really need to post something like this about my mom. She had a BS in math and was sent to learn how to program computers in the late 50s in her first job. I have a photo of her in a skirt moving jumpers around on a room sized computer. She programmed in Fortran for most of her career. She retired in the early 90s and passed away soon after. If anything, I followed in her footsteps. I still remember playing colossal cave adventure on the minicomputer (Harris?) in her office in the late 70s.
