What's wrong with solder jockeys, Paul?

Possibly nothing is wrong with some of them,


Exactly. The term generally suggests those like Arnie who's faith is
totally in measurement. There's nothing inherently sinful in
soldering; I've even done a little of it myself. :-)


We have a guy working for us, whose goal in life is to deliver perfect
solder joints.
Each and every joint he produces, is indeed perfect, shiny and evenly
shaped.

I regard that as some kind of art.
I can solder pretty well, but I can't stand in his shadow.

The same guy doesn't know a resistor from an opamp, let alone he knows
how to use an oscilloscope ar a mere Fluke multimeter.

In my work, I rely also on measuring equipment.
I make use of an Audio Professional analyzer, a MLSSA and a Monkey
Forest measuring computer, and a variety of gear such as tone
generators, oscilloscopes and multimeters.

I don't put my faith in them totally, but they're a great help!

Of course. And I'd be the last to suggest otherwise. :-)
