There's a subset of ideas and culture associated with "techbro" beyond just being interested in technology. Obnoxiously Libertarian, overly analytical (lack of holistic perspective), crypto pumping, sometimes pretty racist/sexist (though I would say that's a subset). It's a particular cultural strain of people interested in software, not all young men who code.
These people were "finance bros" working in hedge funds before the VC/startup industry took off, and crypto became the most popular way to scam people.
Edit: actually the "overly analytical" might fall more into the stemlord category, who routinely get mislabelled as techbros.
- rootsudo 5y agoSo much work to keep up with the labels, I just do what I enjoy and so do many other people. It's sad that people just acost and label it as some sort of "bro" label and try to make it negative.
- beaconstudios 5y agoI don't think anybody "keeps up with labels" as such, and it's not about people doing what they enjoy - it's about certain abrasive personality types that are drawn to programming.
