I have a brother 7 years older so I was exposed to all kinds of stuff well above my age. I got the Fishertechnik traffic light working on the family Apple IIGS at something like age 8 or 9. Code and all. This was back before things like easily accessible Web or smartphones and I had no consoles. So bashing my head against a huge problem for dozens of hours was surprisingly easy. I miss that kind of context.
