    This guy doesn't think deeply about any problem, possibly because he has never had to and probably because he has never wanted to. He would probably make a good residential plumber.

      You must not be a home owner because good residential plumbers are definitely out there solving the “hard problems” that techies love to bloviate about every day.

        Who said anything about “good” residential plumbers?

          Literally the author of the comment I responded to? Do you not know how to read?

          Let me deconstruct it for you.

          His words: He would probably make a good residential plumber. would probably make a good residential plumber probably make a good residential plumber. make a good residential plumber. a good residential plumber. good residential plumber.

            Concept of sarcasm will blow your mind.

            And since you’re so intent on deconstructing:

            > He would probably make a good residential plumber.

            Him making a good residential plumber≠average residential plumber is good.
