IME, most coders and developers are nowhere near as good with computers as people think. They mostly interact with their PC by typing shit in their IDE. People who are actually good with computers either have tech support backgrounds or fiddle around with Linux as a hobby. Sysadms tend to be good with computers as well. Every other STEM professional (engineers, coders, scientists) are only marginally less clueless about computers compared with the general public.
IT encompasses a lot of positions from tech support to developers to sysadms to people who install security cameras and keycards. I wasn't really talking about tech support in general but tech support within IT.

Yeah, I felt this too. What about IT people? That just counts as tech support?
