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.

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

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

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.

spreadsheets and stuff but I don't know much other than how to google problems

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’m a bartender

Interesting question. I'm a software developer, but I just wanted to point out that reddit also started out very heavily skewed toward tech workers. The non tech people came quite a bit later for the most part. Even today from what I can tell, software developers are overrepresented on Reddit.

I'm a geographer and haven't been techie since it was considered technical to connect a VCR to a TV using RCA cables

Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?

R.I.P RIF

Public Affairs

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’m semi tech related? Work in the graphic design industry. So I’m adjacent to some of the things here.

Electrician. I'm new here and looking for a good alternative to reddit since the whole 3rd party app thing.

I’m a cinematographer and editor so I spend a lot of time working with tech but very specific stuff. I’m still on reddit for now. At least until Narwhal becomes prohibitive to use. Fuck Twitter and Threads.

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

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

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.

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

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.

I'm in law school.

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.
