I could be considered “tech savvy”, I know a bit of C/PHP and a lot of shell script. Explain ro me how I could learn that without a computer (I’m also self-taught)

By using the computer or phone at home. Roughly half of the programmer workforce currently alive went through childhood without a mobile phone, because they didn't exist for regular consumers. And personal laptops for children would've been perhaps an option for the top 1%, but probably not even them. Since you just didn't have electronics in school.

Way more than half. Let's separate dumb phones from smart phones. Even smart phones weren't all that capable for a long time.
