Lots of trades are starting to use more modern equipment, to the slow embracement of older more “established” tradespeople.
An example from a couple decades ago, when auto leveling tiling systems were coming out, more “prestigious” companies refused to use them since they think it’s cheating. It’s like a calculator, a tool to make your life easier though.
Anyways, now you won’t catch tilesetters NOT using them.
This was my introduction to the ‘wonders of tech.’
With great fanfare and joyous noises, we were promised a wonderful, fully modern system that would solve a problem no one knew we had. I was a new supervisor and had to learn a system that seemed to be designed to frustrate and annoy everyone who used it.
the tl, dr is the city wasted lots of money on a project the Mayor’s daughter was pushing.
Is there anybody on Lemmy that isn’t a software engineer of some description? No? Anyone?
Yes, there are dozens of us.
I’m an Illustrator. And I even contributed something non software engineery.
Manufacturing design automation specialist
I do gynecology as a hobby.
Carpenter
I’m a geologist!
Just because I’m not in a technical job doesn’t mean I’m not a technology user.
Yes, me. I am a network engineer with an expired CCNA
I’m a machinist.
Shoe Cobbler
Low voltage electrical engineer!
My field is HR.
As for technical hills, I’m not sure.
Musician and Audio Engineer (so my 9-5 is in IT)
I’m not, although I do write some code.
I do (workplace) safety, compliance and hazardous waste handling.
I am a former Solutions Architect. So yeah, the only code I would ever write is some hacky scripting.
I was thinking the same thing.
otoh, the post does say ‘technical’
