How IT People See Each Other
(tesseract.dubvee.org)
Not OC: Just found this on my old hard drive while grabbing some other stuff.
IT stands for Information Technology. Relevant Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_technology
Yes, that is consistent with my understanding - networking and infrastructure. Engineering and management is generally not considered IT where I am unless they are directly supporting networking and infrastructure. But someone writing code for a game or app wouldn't be IT.
Software devs and designers usually fall under IT is my understanding but I can see why many people/places would make the distinction. Especially for companies that only write software, their IT would more be the infrastructure, but if they're only writing software for in house use that's more on the IT side. I could be completely wrong about this too, just how I saw them grouped.
The wiki link states software to be included in the definition. Management is not IT of course, but as there exists management in IT is used in the image I'd guess.
Right, there is definitely a software side of IT, but not all software is IT adjacent. IT software is really a very small field these days, compared to software in general.
