Asklemmy

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.

Lawyer here, but a lot of my interests are tech-adjacent.

Writer. Have some very basic tech knowledge but mainly just had enough of reddit's bullshit 🤷‍♂️ lemmy is pretty easy to understand imo, I don't know how the fuck you keep a server running but I'm glad that many people here do so I can just sign up and shitpost.

I’m a bartender

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 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.

Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?

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.

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

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

I work in the office side of a distribution center. I’m far from technologically illiterate, but my knowledge drops off a cliff when I get outside my comfort zone. I know enough not to bother IT most of the time, so I count that as a win.

Reddit killing the 3rd party apps pissed me off a little bit, but their AMA about it really made me start looking for alternatives. So here I am!

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

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

Medical professional here. I am pretty tech savvy tho..

Don’t have a technical background per se.

I have a degree in music education, and work at a consulting firm doing non-programming-language-based data work.

Personally, though, I am a very technical person who loves science and math. I have a tinkerer’s mindset; I love taking things apart and understanding how they work, then putting it back together.

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

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.

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

I’m a cinematographer and editor so I spend a lot of time working with tech but very specific stuff. I’m still on reddit for now. At least until Narwhal becomes prohibitive to use. Fuck Twitter and Threads.

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

I work at the railways as an overhead line mechanic.

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

I am a Ph.D in Chemistry, now doing an MBA in finance.

I'm a student, gonna start (undergrad) medical school this summer.

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