To: null and void

Oh! and by the way, a lot of these young “potential” superstars have not got a clue about the “industry”

I had a 4.0 college grad ask me what solder is.
They know how to use matlab, but us old guys tell them what to use matlab for.

And quite frankly we did that stuff without crutches.

We can have stuff done before your old fogey ass even has time to put your orthopedic shoes on. Matlab is just one of many tools at our disposal.

And he probably pronounced it "soll-der" or "soul-der." I've heard things such as, "I need to weld these wires together. Do you have any soll-der?" Or, "Does that soll-der stuff work on plastic and wood?" Or, "I'm having trouble nailing this screw through this piece of wood."
