Haha, most people here do tech it seems. Well, me too.

People seem to think I'd be good at maths and my entire job is like maths. I'm not and I don't view it that way. There's a lot of problem solving and engineering, but I find it very creative and expressive

I know, the proportion of professional tech people here shocked me. I know there's a lot of like open source nerds and whatnot here but I only do that stuff as a hobby lol
