HPC researcher but I suck, so am I partially technical?

Mighty housewife. Used to have a semi-techy civilian job with the military. I recently volunteered to manage a very small community computer lab in my town. cybersecurity and sysadmin have been instructive here, but I usually can be found loitering at noncredibledefense.

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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

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’m a bartender

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Lawyer here, but a lot of my interests are tech-adjacent.

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

Non-tech background, currently a undergrad student, but formally trained office worker for secretary and business matters.

I am not a geek.

Non-tech career but have always been a tech enthusiast.

Civil Engineering, do a lot of things to keep me interested from design, construction, pm and administrative stuff depending on the phase of the project. And yeah, there is a lot of IT/Programming Guys in Reddit and Lemmy now.

Work for a class 1 railroad. I’m about as tech savvy as your grandma.

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.

Non tech. Designer.

I'm currently an attorney but in another life I worked help desk in the military.

Tech background, but never worked with it.

I'm a plumber now, used to design trusses for houses.

Non-tech! I'm a buyer for a large wholesaler and distributor.

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.
