Can’t be that many on Lemmy at this point.
There are ones of us! Ones!
... and zeroes ! ones and zeroes !
I'm not in IT...
...but I did earn a degree in Computer Science.
I, too, thought it was interesting they considered programming as the IT industry. I mean, sure, you may use scripts once and a while, but that's very different from a software developer, or someone else who works with/writes code for a living.
I don't even code for a living, I wait tables.
There's a decent number actually, going by Lemmy.ca census results (which will be posted as soon as we can).
The largest group is programmer/IT, but there's lots of variety nonetheless
