Ahh not your average programmer i guess - I come from machine code and assembly language (i loved my spectrum/C64/commodore Amiga too lol) it's just higher level languages I struggle with sometimes lol at least with assembly language you could see exactly how it all works
Used to work in industrial electronics in the 80s/90s(when things were actually worth repairing that was) we'd sometimes have to reverse engineer microprocessor based boards blow our own eprom to create some test routines that actually made the board do something - then you could figure out what was going wrong with a logic analyser or at least a scope.
Of course then they invented MICE (micro in circuit emulator) you could have a lot of fun with one of those
