I'm a surgical technologist, so, "tech", but not IT.

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.

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

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.

Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?

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.

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

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

Not very technical, I manage the testing of an anti money laundering system for a bank. I work with lots of coders but I'm definitely not one myself, more of an analyst than anything else.

I picked lemmy because I didn't want to continue using reddit and this seemed like the best alternative when I did a small amount of browsing. So far I enjoy it even with less content, means I waste less time scrolling.

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 have an Associates in Electronics. I graduated just as the recesion reared it's ugly head in the early '90's. With nothing else to do, I cleaned carpet for 20 years. I have dabbled in computers and programming in A86 but never got too deep into them.

Let's just say I know enough to mess up everything I touch if I'd let myself...

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.

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

Tech background, but never worked with it.

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

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.

Non tech. Designer.

Music, photographer/videographer, fitness, student, 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.

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 career but have always been a tech enthusiast.

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