    “Techbro” is a specific name for a subsection of the tech population who have become complete douche canoes (much like the middle and right people in the image). The crypto/AI/whatever people. These people are mostly male.

    All kinds of awesome people work in tech, but they are not considered “tech bro”, just cool tech people.

      “information wants to be free” is a hacker expression… it deeply offends me to see that attached to tech bro.
      and women are fully capable of being douche canoes, as well as being strong positive or negative forces in tech. You’re mostly seeing males in this role BECAUSE of sexism… acting like they’re just naturally mostly male is reinforcing that.
      there is a huge problem with sexism in tech.
