Just curious, what do you guys actually do for a living?
Scrolling through comments here, you can tell there’s a huge mix of people, some clearly technical, some more creative, some who sound like they’ve been in the working world for decades, others who feel like students or early in their career.
No particular reason for asking, just genuinely curious what kind of professions make up this community. Feel free to keep it as vague or specific as you’re comfortable with.
Drop your profession below, and if you want, one thing about it people usually don’t expect.
automated machine design. mostly automotive crap.
sure does pay the bills what with the always available overtime, but it also has a shit effect on hobbies because (1) there’s only so many hours a week you can spend using a kb/m and at a desk, and more work cuts into gaming, (2) there’s only so many hours you can spend staring at a screen, so more work cuts into gaming or other media, and (3) when your day job is designing machines and solving problems, more of that cuts into playing Minecraft or Factorio or something because hey that’s like the exact same type of thinking.
there’s a reason so many engineers are into climbing, cycling, camping, woodworking etc
