I’m coming from a computing background and trying to learn about circuits, but having trouble with this terminology because it the opposite of the norm in computing (where nodes are connected by branches).

Sounds like it is exactly the same terminology.
Nodes are just intersections of branches.
I must admit, I haven’t heard anyone use these terms in the industry–especially node. We refer to nodes as nets which is probably even more confusing. One of the outputs of your schematic capture CAD software is a netlist which is just a list of nets (nodes) and a list of component terminals/pins and the net to which they are connected. Those nets become the traces between the components on the finished PCB.
