I was used to ClarisWorks and MS Office wasn't as intuitive and took a few sessions to master. Although if they'd been using the ui they have now, I'd have thrown in the towel. I use libreoffice at home and hate when I have to use ms office and its stupid ui at work.
I did teach myself HTML, php and a bit of JavaScript. I coded a forum software when I was 19 from scratch using php just to see if I could. Coding was my special interest at the time.
I am autistic so I'm excluded from this study.
