Poll: How tech-savy are you?

[SimuLord]

3. I'm a skilled end user, but I don't code.

 

[Blackadder51]

3-ish

and the sad thing is i actully sell computers and shit as my job :

 

[DazZ.]

I wouldn't say you need to be a programmer to be tech savvy.

I'm just under a 5, I don't have the confidence to start selling bespoke applications yet, but I'll do websites just fine. need to get a portfolio of stuff though.

(Programming is what I've wanted to do for awhile, not sure if it is what I want to actually do though...)

 

[Death2Nite]

4 4 me

 

[pelopelopelo]

Between 3 and 4, though nearer 3. I want to get into programming more, so I imagine it will change soonish...

 

[Finnboghi]

Well, I do read and write fluently in 01000100110100101101110011000010111000101111001, 183 243 263 241 254, and 48657869646563696D616C, so take from that what you will.

I also program and fix computers for a living.

Sorry about the octal, it's not technically directly converted into ASCII, so I kinda had to make up the rules.

Also, no, I did not use a translator. That would be utterly shameful.

I picked 5. I am a professional programmer, which I suppose is "practically" a professional programmer.

 

[traceur_]

I can type and I have a black belt in Google-fu.

I'm between 2 and 3. My problem solving skills rarely go beyond "Kick it."

ASCII is for children who have just discovered that binary is used to signify characters. Real computer users use EBCDIC.

No, real computer users use unicode, but that just introduces ludicrous amounts of 0s.

And either way, my point remains valid; octal sucks.

 

[Lord George]

I'm a high level 3, I can do some basic coding in LUA and flash and muck around with files but nothing hugely techy.

 

[Naheal]

Though 7 is amusing, I tend to stick around a 4, moving up towards 5.

 

[EnzoHonda]

I'm a high 3, I hope to become a higher 3. No interest in coding and all my computer knowledge comes from trying to get games to run. I had mad skillz back when I was getting DOS stuff to run in Win95.

 

[Rhayn]

I know enough that I don't get myself into trouble while surfing along. I don't know code and my knowledge of hardware is very basic, but all I find myself really needing is logic. Most of all my computer-related problems have been solved by using logic.

 

[NuclearPenguin]

Puny humans you will all suffer!

 

[XJ-0461]

I'd say I'm about a 3, and I'm perfectly fine with that.
