I found that programming concepts map really well to digital electronics. The objects in your object oriented language are real objects with their own internal physical state. A large fraction of what embedded engineers do is just APIs and protocols.

Controversial opinion but you do not need to learn electronics to have a good time. One can have plenty of fun simply writing software and plugging prebuilt modules together on a breadboard. Ohm and Maxwell need not apply.
