techies

My experience has been that the more non-techies come on board, the more inclined the company is to offshore development.

Bubble pops, techies leave, rent goes down, businesses of all sorts close, non-techies lose their jobs in droves.

The ADP is nice for some techies, but for most mainstream US consumers it doesn't make sense to pay for an unlocked phone.

QR codes are things that techies think non-techies actually use.

I'm trying to find out how many non-techies are supported by each engineer, and my hypothesis is that the number is increasing.

All the user-testing showed that general users (ie non-developers-or-techies) found many aspects of the Linux user-experience too complex.

In many cases, there won't even be a viable equivalent to a given Windows app, at least not for non-techies.

So in the end, there's no reason why depressed techies can't chess-move their way out of whatever holes they're in.

Most of the time techies don't know either, but have a sensible approach to finding out.

They first trimmed all non-techies, then support, then sysadmins and then moved on to the developers.

They would filter away any techies, etc until all that's left are people who will take the governments word as gospel.

I think the burden should fall on us techies -- I think there is something constructive we can do.

I've largely stopped listening to people who blame "techies" vs.

Used to be I could connect to other women techies online without much difficulty; now we find our community spaces overrun with trolls and strident voices about phantom spectre of "the SJW".

"Fucking techies" while she knows you're one?

"Grandpa doesn't want to type in some URL, he just wants to scan an image and be taken there!" Then marketing gets involved asking for the QR code that the techies told them "everyone uses" and its now a requirement on all posters and advertising materials.

Techies can't rent low-income housing under normal circumstances.
