Retired military at a young age working property maintenance at a storage facility part time to kill time.
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!
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.
Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?
I am a Social Worker. But Computers are my hobby since as long as I remember.
I'm non tech, in a professional role. I just like computers.
Traditional and digital artist here. I do graphic design and illustration. Have always had a healthy interest in tech, though.
R.I.P RIF
Public Affairs
Electrician. I'm new here and looking for a good alternative to reddit since the whole 3rd party app thing.
I work in retail management lol! although I have spent p much my entire life around computers and am tech savvy :p
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.
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.
HPC researcher but I suck, so am I partially technical?
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 work at the railways as an overhead line mechanic.
I'm a surgical technologist, so, "tech", but not IT.
I'm in law school.
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.
social sciences (anthro) background but have always been a bit on the tech savvy side and had tech support jobs
