I am making an assumption that you grew up with something like an iPad. This isn't your fault, you had no reason to learn it before. Now that you have a need to do these things, you figured it out by accident just through exposure.
Yep. It’s why I tell my students to make friends with people on the “keeping the lights on” side of things. You are friendly in general, no strings attached, and they will move mountains for you because you’re one of the nice ones.
