Define "in tech". About half of the physicists I know have Linux on at least one of their personal computers.

But whether scientists are "in tech" seems to depend on who you talk to. In Silicon Valley these days, a Youtube marketing influencer is in "tech", but a person who designs and builds particle accelerators is not. Go figure.

Valid point. I was specifically thinking of people who earn a living by working on software or hardware or operating them.
