Currently I am a component engineer, scrubbing PCBA BOMs against environmental regulations. My original training was in diesel-electric railway engine repair, including pneumatic / hydraulic safety and power train systems. I worked as a machinist in Tool and Die, I used to rebuild punch-presses, I was an internal web developer, an SMT/ AOI programmer. I worked in warehouse and in factories since 1989.

No hands-on experience I ever learned hurt me, and I do not really care what I need to do to make a living. I can adopt fairly well.

I love UNIX, I love manufacturing, and I love Fediverse :D

Gen Z might be over-educated and under-motivated, and I prefer to focus on the "working class", who already know what reality is all about.
