As someone who does factory Automation “I open valves, and start pumps”

“Oh cool! Does that mean you could fix my kitchen sink? It keeps backing up randomly, oh and the faucet will always drip…”

So a dire-plumber? Like a regular plumber but dire…

The most complicated job I’ve ever had would make people’s eyes glaze over when I was explaining what I did, even my wife’s. So I started saying “website stuff”, and everyone would go “oh, super cool!” and then we’d change the subject.
