Did you have somebody overwhelming you with the minutiae of research and “things you have to understand” when you got into PC building?

I just kinda started plugging shit in where it fit. This was in the days of the ISA bus and mobo DIP switches. All my technical knowledge was learned through breaking something and trying to fix it.
