I mostly just remember copying stuff from here and there, not too different from the age or stackoverflow, just printed and mostly correct!

I did have some lucky breaks, like going to local small town art school to study "computer graphics" as a pre-teen with a 20-year old tech student who would just casually explain to us anything from alpha blending to linear algebra. Said student later went on to design GPUs for Bitboys, ATI and AMD.
