When there is a computer problem and they call some guy who presses like two keys and fixes it. Or when they type really fast and click a lot of things and then it fixes it.
Because of Hollywood way too many people believe that’s how you actually fix a computer or technology, and then when your boss sees you not clicking or typing that fast, your boss thinks you’re an idiot and don’t know what you’re doing. Thank you, Hollywood for brainwashing people.
Often we do press 2 keys and fix it. That's what they see when tech support drops by so they thinks it's magic and all fixes work like that.
Yup. That’s when I get the “what do we pay you for if it was that easy to fix?” … it was that easy to fix because I know what I’m doing!
The years of studying and ten years of experience required to know that those two keys would solve the problem.

For reference, £10 in 1908 would be worth roughly $1000 today and there were 20s in a pound, so 10s would be worth about $50 today.
