I think we should have nicknames for people who never went to school for coding/developing, here are some names I'm thinking:
"Analog Junkies"
"Tech Illiterates"
"Manual Laborers"
"Tech Relics"
"Old-School Luddites"
"Digital Dunces"
"Technophobes"
"Non-Techies"
"Primitive Users"
Let me know if you have any other ideas

    Ooh these are so creative. I'll be sure to use these against all the wives at the company party

    I took electrical engineering and tested out of my coding classes. You mean people actual need a teacher for this stuff?

    I fall into this category. I code out of necessity. Also it doesn’t make any sense. How can a user of technology be primitive or tech illiterate. Like saying that someone who isn’t a chef is a food dunce. Total bollocks.

    but... analog computing might have a big comeback, now in times of AI.

    @jestdotty because analog computing is highly efficient in those cases where it's useful. like massively paralellised simple mathematical operations where some minor loss of precision is not a big deal.

    the kind of calculations that neural nets are based on.

    analog computing has fallen out of favor a long time ago because it simply can't match the versatility of digital computing - where you basically can approximate _everything_.

    I graduated a super-special experimental program in my uni. We were building CPUs in first grade.

    Guess what: I'm a technophobe. The less tech I have, the better.

    A few buddies call ourselves dirt bag engineers, because we're at a big company are in the most senior position before you can start making actual design decisions

    i'd like to add "Digital Primates" to it (as opposed to Digital Natives)

    but otherwise Technophobes is my new favourite word for these people now

    Wait you had to pay someone that much money just to be at our level of competency?

    @MammaNeedHummus It wasn't just that, it was a whole set of classes with different skills that might come in handy in the developer work place. They also got me quickly certified in certain things I needed to make more money. Not that any of that matters sense I lost my job... fuck I should've been a doctor
