    Yeah a lot of technological improvements aren’t really changers, they just make people more productive at their jobs.

    My brother is a plumber and his biggest annoyance is people that think “if I had your tools I’d be able to do your job.” Nope, that’s not how things work at all. Weird how some people think technology makes skill obsolete.

      Exactly! I used to do solo jobs, and it’s shocking how many people balk at my (legit very reasonable) rates, and say things like: well you’re just piling up some rocks.
