Earlier this year we asked Lifehacker readers if you write code for a living, and it’s no surprise that many of you do! But it’s also clear that many Lifehackers work across a range of IT professions: from network admins to VMware gurus. So what’s your specialty?
Lifehacker has always taken the view that solving problems analytically is the best way to be productive and think outside the box. It’s a mindset that can be applied to life in general, so we’re always keen to hear more about your professional pursuits.
If you’re a developer, we’ve got a separate poll for you.
Leave a comment below if your role isn’t listed.

Friday, October 21, 2011 at 10:01 AMDevelopers and Designers are not part of this IT poll – they are separate? That’ll make the poll accurate. not. How many Dev’s tick Technical Consultant and how many only did the other survey? It has to cater for everyone at once to mean anything:
Non-IT
IT – non-Dev/Design
IT Dev Design (then break down .NET, PHP, Java, UnManaged, HTML/CSS/JS, Graphics, Other)
