I'm a little bit older, so I started at the start with Colour of Magic, and then went back for Truckers etc. As for Pyramids, for me as someone who's first programming language was an 8-bit BASIC variant, and was amidst calculus and trig etc. in his later high school career
the camel's thought processes were totally mindblowing. For all I know, Terry Pratchett accidentally rigged reality through writing this book in order to turn me into a software developer... -- "The silence that followed was by way of being a standing ovation. The landscape began to distort again. This was clearly not a place to linger. You Bastard looked down at his front legs. Let legs equal four. He lumbered into a run. Camels apparently have more knees than any other creature and You Bastard ran like a steam engine, with lots of extraneous movement at right angles to the direction of motion accompanied by a thunderous barrage of digestive noises. 'Bloody stupid animal,' muttered Ptraci, as they jolted away from the palace, 'but it looks like it finally got the idea.'
