It's strange because I really don't even know where I got these skills. I grew up with computers around me in the '80s and '90s and it just felt like I always already knew how to do things.  At worst I'd have to fidget with it for a minute or two to figure out how they worded something.

Maybe it's a difference in experimentation?  Willingness to just poke at it until it works?  Or maybe it's a factor of having grown up as the "language" of computers evolved and now the language is more complicated to learn from scratch?

It's this. I'm obsessive enough to just screw with things and not be too concerned with whether it stops working. Now I've discovered how to make sure things don't stop working regardless of whether I screw up, so learning how to do stuff is that much easier.
