The idea, "bro", of a hacker being monomaniacally interested in "tech" is a recently-developed fiction. It's very difficult to describe, for example, the cypherpunk movement as anything other than "hacker" in nature, yet they did not restrict themselves to what a venture capitalist had to say about X or what that hot new processor could do; why should anyone else?
