Asklemmy

I am a ux designer and design in a tech company so I am around tech and development often. I also can do the bare minimum of coding as a hobby and enjoying tech topics.

It would be nice if lemmy had more non-tech communities as well though, but they are growing in number. I haven't used other social media besides Reddit or lemmy for years now and have no interest in any other.

Is telematican an heatpump-programmer a technical background?

I'm in marketing haha, I joke that I'm my parent's IT person, but that's just about as technical as I get

I'm a college dropout, managing my microbusiness and screenwriter. I'm only using Windows notepad, Fade In Screenwriting Software, and browsing using Firefox whenever I stumble on my ThinkPad.

Not technical, but always interested in technical advances.

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.

How about a technical background not related to computers? I am a meatspace engineer, not a thoughtspace engineer.

I am a Ph.D in Chemistry, now doing an MBA in finance.

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.

Graduated with a criminology degree, do work with vocational rehab and have done random stints of juvenile services. I don't have a tech background, but definitely have an interest in tech stuff, I'd say easily moreso than the average citizen.

But like, I've tried to learn HTML and I couldn't get past the first few Khan Academy lessons lol. The logic it used just didn't jive with my brain.

Traditional and digital artist here. I do graphic design and illustration. Have always had a healthy interest in tech, though.

Not me, but one of my closest friends is a professional handyman who is almost anti-technical, and I managed to get him using Lemmy.

I'm in law school.

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.

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.

I'm far from a technical background. I make storyboards and concepts for ads and animations. Mostly related to graphics and illustration. Sort of a digital art director.

At the same time I do all my work on a tablet + computer and am a huge tech enthusiast.

I’m kinda like a handyman for a medical laboratory. Actually hard to define…from fixing doors to fixing medical equipment

Human troubleshooting (I'm a therapist). My dad is an engineer who always built his own PCs and gave me a pretty solid foundation for the software side of things, as well as basic car knowledge. Haven't kept up on that in a while but I'm Tier 1 tech support for my parents (my brother is Tier 2) 😂

Don’t have any formal tech education, but can write a simple Python program or build a simple circuit with a 555 timer.

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!
