If you read the thread, you'll see some other very arrogant & very
condescending people who think folks like you are inferior.  They
don't consider what you do to be "real" work.  (see below).

 I am not one of those.   I wish I had half the talent you had, when
it comes to hands-on work.  (I don't even know how to solder a basic
connection; I can do it, but it's very sloppy.)
