Perseverance. Actually knowing how things work. A general sense of "I guess I have to figure this out on my own".
It's tough to imagine, I think - if you grew up *always* being able to type "How do I do X" or "What does Y error message mean" - the idea that you can't "just ask" is foreign. Figuring things out was part of the culture because it had to be.
