I'm non tech, in a professional role. I just like computers.

Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?

R.I.P RIF

I am a Social Worker. But Computers are my hobby since as long as I remember.

I’m a bartender

Very mixed background. Retail, customer service, warehouser, some technical support (HP laser printers in the 00s), a season and a half of a TV show, single-dad, commissioned fanfiction writer...

Mighty housewife. Used to have a semi-techy civilian job with the military. I recently volunteered to manage a very small community computer lab in my town. cybersecurity and sysadmin have been instructive here, but I usually can be found loitering at noncredibledefense.

I work in retail management lol! although I have spent p much my entire life around computers and am tech savvy :p

Professional land surveyor. Work a lot with raw digital data, with some experience in various coding languages to manipulate the data. Plus I know computer stuff pretty well.

Public Affairs

I'm a geographer and haven't been techie since it was considered technical to connect a VCR to a TV using RCA cables

spreadsheets and stuff but I don't know much other than how to google problems

I'm an advertising copywriter. I don't use much tech on a day-to-day basis (I tend to write about deodorant, which is definitely on the lower-tech side) but I have some extremely limited coding in my background, and I like building PCs.

Half I guess? Graduated in a non technical field but I ended up taking a lot of CS and math classes. But now I'm not really doing anything since I've been depressed since college. There's probably a lot of stuff I could do if I could get over the motivation hump.

Retired military at a young age working property maintenance at a storage facility part time to kill time.

Electrician. I'm new here and looking for a good alternative to reddit since the whole 3rd party app thing.

I’m tech-adjacent, lol. Technically I’m in Operations, but end up also doing a little project/product management. I wear many hats, which in one way is. I’ve but in others is very annoying.

HPC researcher but I suck, so am I partially technical?

Interesting question. I'm a software developer, but I just wanted to point out that reddit also started out very heavily skewed toward tech workers. The non tech people came quite a bit later for the most part. Even today from what I can tell, software developers are overrepresented on Reddit.

I’m semi tech related? Work in the graphic design industry. So I’m adjacent to some of the things here.

I took a computer programming class for a semester in high school and was a Computer Science major for a month in college, but that’s the closest thing I’ve got to anything resembling a technical background.

I work for an outsourced company representing a large search engine brand. The largest.

I am not on the tech end though. I handle partner relationships. Aka I am the company rep from a tech jugganaut, to people way more tech saavy than me.

I spend my days hoping I don't get caught out.

Non-tech! I'm a buyer for a large wholesaler and distributor.

social sciences (anthro) background but have always been a bit on the tech savvy side and had tech support jobs

Civil Engineering, do a lot of things to keep me interested from design, construction, pm and administrative stuff depending on the phase of the project. And yeah, there is a lot of IT/Programming Guys in Reddit and Lemmy now.

I've never worked in any tech field, but I've built every computer I've ever owned and have been online since '93, which I suppose counts as far as this thread is concerned.
