I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.
If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

I know enough code to say that I thoroughly dislike PHP and Javascript
Then you don’t know enough code.
And making a new account for each instance?
That’s not necessary, you can join any community on any instance, for example one on my instance, !wwdits@lemmings.world - you might notice it’s on the lemmings.world instance and even though you’re on lemmy.world, you should be able to click the link and see the posts / subscribe / write comments / posts.
I still have this imposter syndrome-like feeling that I’m not supposed to be here
If you like it here, it’s exactly where you should be!
I certainly don’t know enough code! With AI now though I don’t think any amount of learning would land me a job sadly.
And thanks! I do like it here.
AI’s capabilities are way overblown, if you get serious with development, you will surpass AI in no time. AI is currently great at pretending it knows what it’s doing, but it doesn’t really know, human expertise is still uncontested.
So it’s great at some of the boring tasks, meaning you can actually use it to skip those boring parts and leave them to the AI, while focusing on the important bits. If that’s the only thing stopping you from learning to code, go for it!
