so i work in tech as a tech person but im unsure if im a “tech bro” or just someone who works in tech. its kinda hard to judge because i kinda dont talk to what people probably consider techbros.

anyone got any ideas on a decent description?

    “Tech bro invent things” is a whole YT niche, or you if this is anything like you then you may have a problem lol.

    Additionaly if someone is anything like mid 20-30s white male earning 6 figures and likes saying these words unironicaly IRL: Disrupt, blockchain, bootcamp, grind/“The Grind”, vision, start up etc. Very high overlap with the alpha male grifters too.

    Tech bros are realy a continuation of finance bros from the 2000s, quite the same type of people, white male 20-30s high middle class earning 6 figures who nepo baby themselves into dot com bubble fake job. They see themselves as creating the greatest amount of value in the world. The only difference is instead of finance sector and other winners of the early 1995-2008 era, it is the same people getting silly overpaid entry level jobs at a FANG company in the 2010s.

    In essence they created the “learn to code” meme, people who are tech bros are the ones who realy believed everyone should just get get on a 8 week bootcamp to learn some shit coding language and they’d get 150k a year, so much so everyone should just do that because no other profession is worthwhile. Sure that happened to a very few lucky people but the culture remained until they became a parody of themselves.
