yes, of course it does. but can you teach it??? for me, when presented with a problem, the tech solution normally pops into my brain, like the lightbulb in cart

yes, of course it does. but can you teach it??? for me, when presented with a problem, the tech solution normally pops into my brain, like the lightbulb in cartoons, if it doesn't, it's (not always) often an early-warning that i have misunderstood the problem, or that it is too difficult for me. you can't teach this stuff.
