Your not a computer repair guy?

It's a standard skill set to have prior to development. Also gives you a decent understanding of what's beyond a monitor and keyboard.

@C0D4 I repair and build. That was just a joke.

Example:
“I’m a developer”

“Oh, you’re an IT guy? Well my computer Is on the fritz and...”
