I work in the office side of a distribution center. Iβm 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!
Donβt 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 tinkererβs 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

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
Iβm tech-adjacent, lol. Technically Iβm in Operations, but end up also doing a little project/product management. I wear many hats, which in one way is. Iβve 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 do music, photography/videography, strength training, student too, but it started by being into tech (still am), it's helped for doing music/photography greatly.
Well, I have a degree in tech. Work in finance. Tech hobbies, programmer second job
So I probably don't fit. Most of my working life was retail though.
I'm a CPA and not highly skilled in computer stuff. The fact that I managed to join Lemmy, set up Jerboa and actually participate means that almost anyone can do it
University student. Doing business. Not that tech savvy. I will learn some programing languages because finding a job(a good one) gets harder and harder every year.
Does payroll count as technical? I suppose maybe within our payroll system (Workday), but that's peanuts compared to like actual tech jobs.
