Spot on.

Over 50 years ago, in the form of RTL ICs – as mentioned here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/my-new-projects/

NivagSwerdna:
Forget ICs...  BC108 (and 107)... that's where it started for me.   :)    oh... ok 741... 555... and then a proper IC... 1802 and 74-series.

bd139:
bc107 here too. First transistor I got my hands on ever. And of course I blew it up!  :-DD

JohnPen:
How about the Red spot and Green/yellow spot transistors courtesy of Henry's radio back in the late 50s.  First ICs I used were some Plessey Rf ICs SL610/612 SL621 etc. building a HAM radio RX Manhattan style with discrete components.  Later moved on to Z80 home built computer with bigger ICs and hand drawn ink PCBs.
