well, you can count "has a rudimentary understanding of inorganic chemistry" to that list of what you friends know
i blame my mother, she is a textile and ceramic artist, such things as "loog solution" and having studied how old ceramic vessels were made in my art classes etc
also, yes, the fact my mother is a textile artist is relevant to how i became a programmer
textile pattern books look a LOT like code, and involve numerous complex interrelations for more advanced stuff like ... what is it called, that thing in knitting... cable? and in weaving also, the whole notion of pixels was obviously inspired by weaving and knitting, and i think if you dig into the history of notables in computer tech- a lot of boys with knitter and weaver mothers
