I work in retail management lol! although I have spent p much my entire life around computers and am tech savvy :p
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.
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 non tech, in a professional role. I just like computers.
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 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!
Public Affairs
spreadsheets and stuff but I don't know much other than how to google problems
I work at the railways as an overhead line mechanic.
Very mixed background. Retail, customer service, warehouser, some technical support (HP laser printers in the 00s), a season and a half of a TV show, single-dad, commissioned fanfiction writer...
Retired military at a young age working property maintenance at a storage facility part time to kill time.
HPC researcher but I suck, so am I partially technical?
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.
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.
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.
I’m semi tech related? Work in the graphic design industry. So I’m adjacent to some of the things here.
I am a Social Worker. But Computers are my hobby since as long as I remember.
Lawyer here, but a lot of my interests are tech-adjacent.
I'm a geographer and haven't been techie since it was considered technical to connect a VCR to a TV using RCA cables
Ive worked in kitchens most of my life, now I work in AI and I have my own copy editing business, and go to school for Info Systems and Supply Chain Management. Wasnt tech but im slowly pushing into it because these are skills ill need to get to retire with money in the bank.
I'm a student, gonna start (undergrad) medical school this summer.
I’m an administrator so I work with MS Office but that is about it as far tech. I did dabble a bit in high school and college with some basic computer programming but that was ages ago and things have vastly changed since then.
Does payroll count as technical? I suppose maybe within our payroll system (Workday), but that's peanuts compared to like actual tech jobs.
