    I wish I could say I’m not an engineer but I become the de-facto engineer and IT technician at every place I work 🤦‍♀️

    I’m also flattered though. :]

      Oh, IT adjacent areas are still full of math.

      If you ever get curious, electrical engineering has lots and lots of convoluted procedures one can learn to avoid even more math… And civil engineering has a very cool “I can beat math with brute force and linear approximations all day long!” philosophy that could improve the lives of most people.

        I have heard of this mystical engineering technique called “looking it up in a table” by which one avoids copious amounts of math
