I think most the original techbros are in management now.
I always assumed the label was derived from the huge influx of people into CS in the late 90's and very early 2000's because of the dot-com boom. I know there were a lot of people at my school at that time that seemed like they would have been in business or finance classes if not for the obscene money they saw thrown around by internet companies when in highschool or before choosing a major.
I mean, that's a valid choice and people are going to choose careers based on money, but if that ends up wildly changing the makeup of the people commonly in that career, you can expect the people that went into it for interest in the work to come up with some salty nicknames for those they see as interlopers.
