    You’re a software engineer. You at least know the very basics of digital electronics, and can probably work your way backward to rudimentary power supplies.

    You are far from fucked.

    Mathematicians though? Oof I worry about them, if they did anything too practical they’d be physicists.

      That’s where you’re wrong bucko!

      I’m a software engineer skilled in devops, Linux and web applications! I spent much of today making Jira tickets and drawing diagrams!

      I’m so fucked

        You know I can’t remember for the life of me if the CS students at my college had to take Digital Electronics or Microcontrollers.

        I was in computer engineering, so those classes were required.

          We did microcontrollers in college. But it was like understanding advanced algebra, where I studied enough to pass the test. So it’s real far back in my brain.

          If you put a piece of green carpet and a microcontroller in front of me, there’s a 50/50 chance I won’t know the difference.

          At this point, you’re just mocking us IT people for or lack in upper body strength. :D
