Someone warn those men never to interact with anime profile pics.

these people are obsessed with their 80s teenager level understanding of nerds vs popular kids. paul graham wrote an essay in his late 30s or something about how the only reason he wasn't popular in high school was that he was too busy being smart.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

This thread is using "techbro" to refer to workers way too much, there's an upvoted post on here about how to take away the average working class tech worker's job. You guys really think OpenAI is going to outsource to the gig economy? Uber for tech is only going to punish the least well paid devs, the generic webdevs just making websites for a small business. OpenAI isn't going to let randos fuck around in their codebase.

A lot of software devs and tech workers are marginalised, neurodivergent or otherwise socially disadvantaged. Too many people in this thread are completely ignoring any kind of intersectionality just because they're men.

Elon Musk isn't a tech worker, he's a tech CEO. Sam Altman isn't a tech work, he's a tech CEO. Sundar Pichai, Susan Wojcicki, Jen-Hsun Huang. All CEOs not tech workers.

The real "techbros" are all business people in an actual position of power, not the introverted QA tester just trying to get through the day. It's disheartening to see so much class division, when your local tech worker is more likely to be an ally than a "techbro".

In fact Software Devs are overwhelmingly Democrat (83.9%), it's up there with Artists (85.9%) and Scientists (88.4%) https://www.zippia.com/advice/democratic-vs-republican-jobs/

It's almost like they're missing the point that techbros are misogynists and it describes a sexist mindset.
