I started very young - like, 4 or 5 - mostly by tinkering with computers and by looking through instruction manuals. I didn't really understand what I was reading, but I kept reading it. This was back in the days of BASIC - we had this book and I remember spending hours typing in programs by hand, again, without any real understanding of what it meant.
From there it was mostly practice. I took a class or two, but frankly I was already past them. Once the Internet showed up I used it to help, and helped people on it (which is incredibly valuable), and I just kinda . . . kept going.
After you've done something for 30 years, you get pretty good at it.
If you want to learn how to code, good news; it's so much easier now than it was when I did it. Start at /r/learnprogramming, then never stop. It will be difficult and you will be confused at times, but keep plowing through it.
