      It’s ‘just’ years and years of tinkering, learning and above average intelligence.

      Try starting with ASICs and microcontrollers. There’s lots of libraries you can port back and forth and lots of low level logic you can understand by actually programming it.

      It’s dark magic even for ‘hardware people’. I’m always astonished what computer engineers can do.

          well, some people have their brains wired in a way which allows them to learn that stuff faster. They still have to learn it.
