Serious question... am I the only one who gets various images in her head of what people think constitutes "techie"?
Because, to me, most "techies" are probably at the very least accomplished software developers. If someone cannot code (even if they are rusty and don't really code anymore), I don't think of them as a "techie"...
Tech-savvy is a whole other title. Hell, I am "tech-savvy." I tend to adopt new tech early and quickly.
Then again, I can program a little in C++ and Java... Flash, though I loathe it, but hardly enough for me to go applying for jobs.

Yeah, it's all kind of mixed up anymore. Same thing with "nerds" and "geeks". It's kind of in fashion to be a "geek" now. Everyone has their faces glued to some kind of screen now. Everyone is fixated on gadgets. When I was a kid and programming on my Atari ST or TRS80 Model II that was incredibly unusual. We were outcasts back in the day. I guess we managed to turn everyone into "geeks" MUHHAHAHA :^)
I guess at a certain level of knowledge or tech, data, programming that is beyond the new "normal" - a person is considered a "techie". When I've used the term on city-data I'm mainly referring to people in which tech is a profession - software engineers, database admins, sys/network admins, IT project managers, ux professionals..
Also for people using this as a guide of some sort, look at a company when they are hiring to see if they have fired in the recent past. This is another trend I am noticing.

Good call.

Good idea. Beware of churn.
Where are good resources to look at when trying to determine whether a company has fired in the recent past?
