Yes. I think programming provides a lot of interesting examples of eg functors and other such structures.
Enough to build your intuition at least, and then start learning category theory from there. (And then try to use that knowledge to kick off some further investigation into the other areas of math that category theory historically comes from, if you are so interested.)
I think it's a bit like learning Spanish first and then Latin later. Vs learning Latin first and then some romance languages.
