A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Is there anybody on Lemmy that isn't a software engineer of some description? No? Anyone?
I'm a geologist!
Carpenter
I'm a machinist.
Low voltage electrical engineer!
Yes, me. I am a network engineer with an expired CCNA
Fellow network engineer here. The expired cert is implied.
Yes, there are dozens of us.
Musician and Audio Engineer (so my 9-5 is in IT)
Manufacturing design automation specialist
I do (workplace) safety, compliance and hazardous waste handling.
I'm not, although I do write some code.
Shoe Cobbler
My field is HR.
As for technical hills, I'm not sure.
Just because I'm not in a technical job doesn't mean I'm not a technology user.
I do gynecology as a hobby.
I was thinking the same thing.
otoh, the post does say 'technical'
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.
