Lol clearly a joke, too on the nose. But doesn't seem too far from reality for someone to think this.

Dude, you need to monetize this and turn it into a side hustle.

Tech bros are now what finance bros were in the 80s: people who aren't actually that smart, but they study something that is fashionable recently so they're constantly assured of their superiority in all spaces, not just their own. And just like finance bros in the 80s they think that not only are they capable of solving every problem without regard to their all of expertise, they seem to think they've developed a framework that has solved problem-solving in the general case.

The last part took me a minute but that is really the hallmark of any commercial software from the last 15 years. They all think they've solved your problem that they've never heard of.

You're just not thinking in terms of state

As a tangent, having a specific idea to talk about, or a theme for starting hang out convos doesn't sound too bad as an idea

I reworded this like 6 times to try to say it in a non-douchey way but failed.

You're describing a salon. Which is a term for having a gathering of interesting people in order to have a conversation loosely (or not) around a topic or theme.

It's amazing how many people in my city are interested in having deep discussions about hair.

Didn't think this was douchey. I genuinely didn't know this and appreciate you sharing it
