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.
spreadsheets and stuff but I don't know much other than how to google problems
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 in retail management lol! although I have spent p much my entire life around computers and am tech savvy :p
HPC researcher but I suck, so am I partially technical?
Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?
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.
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!
Retired military at a young age working property maintenance at a storage facility part time to kill time.
Traditional and digital artist here. I do graphic design and illustration. Have always had a healthy interest in tech, though.
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.
Iβm a cinematographer and editor so I spend a lot of time working with tech but very specific stuff. Iβm still on reddit for now. At least until Narwhal becomes prohibitive to use. Fuck Twitter and Threads.
Iβm semi tech related? Work in the graphic design industry. So Iβm adjacent to some of the things here.
Lawyer here, but a lot of my interests are tech-adjacent.
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 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.
Writer. Have some very basic tech knowledge but mainly just had enough of reddit's bullshit π€·ββοΈ 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.
Iβm a bartender
I'm currently an attorney but in another life I worked help desk in the military.
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.
