Besides all that manual labor requires math. A ton requires geometry.

You think plumbing, framing, electrical or any trade is done without measuring and quite complicated math?

’May you live in interesting times’ is the worst thing one can wish on a citizen of Discworld, especially on the distinctly unmagical Rincewind, who has had far too much perilous excitement in his life and can’t even spell wizard.

That's not a silly thing though. Pretty much all jobs are temporary.

I'm at an MSP that services quite a few school districts. We lose techs to them somewhat regularly.

Utopias are inherently dystopian in they only work when everyone wants the same things and everyone is bound by strict rules. There is no such thing as a utopia.

Finding the correct bolt size, thread pitch, material, and trusting that when I order grade 8 bolts, I'm actually getting grade 8 makes Amazon quite a pain in the ass.

If it's something I don't care too much about, yea Amazon is fine. But when I want to trust my life to it or it's going to take some serious stress I'm going to want McMaster.

I've been tempted to create a bot that does nothing but search comments in code for misspelled words and create pull requests for them.

If it stays in comments, little chance in breaking a working codebase and I'd have an insane amount of commits and contributions to a wide variety of codebases for my resume.

I'll never be a top tier coder. But I might make management.
