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

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

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...

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

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

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.

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.

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

I’m a bartender

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’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.

Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?

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.

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

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.

R.I.P RIF

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

I’m a master’s candidate in the life sciences and public health. I can’t code or anything, but I regularly troubleshoot my own computer problems, and I’ve built a couple PCs for gaming. The most technical my field gets in this sense is the use of R or SPSS for statistical analysis.

I'm a programmer but I don't think there is a high bar of entry here, maybe with so many options to choose from maybe

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