I first learned the rudiments of writing code punching drum cards for keypunch machines.

I remember FORTRAN punch cards in College. Ugh.

I’m a big fan of the whole Bubble Memory slice of electronics history. We had so many of those cards and I never remember one failing. Incredibly reliable. I think you could dunk one in a bucket of water and it would work after it dried out. There are still quite a few in use in Industry BTW. But no one would ever make them again, so the people who need them hoard them.
