specialization of labor is still a good thing, it’s just that having enough knowledge to fix basic around the house problems (like a sink) is helpful and, at least where I’ve lived, it takes less time to learn how to fix a sink than to find a plumber. For larger or more complicated problems, like a toilet or shower, professionals are almost always the better choice.
So we should just throw away the entire concept of specialization and do every single thing ourselves? Pretty dumb take my dude.
