Maybe I misunderstand the context of the term but I never viewed them as mutually exclusive. There are toxic "bro" type devs who are still actually good devs (doesn't excuse being an ass though). I never viewed it as meaning someone who doesn't code "for real" but maybe I'm misusing it.

For me, "Techbro" exclusively refers to people who repackage existing ideas and sell them as an innovation to VC investors. Think of how many techbros keep reinventing trains and boats, but worse.

I picture those who didn't embrace geek culture or esthetics, leaning more towards jock and fraternity culture instead, but who saw money in computers.

Arrogant, posturing douchebags that don't understand the technology they're involved in and are unwilling to learn. Any "work" that's done is by actual tech workers or tools creates by them.

The tech bro is only in it for money and "prestige"

That's how I've always interpreted it. Specifically about toxic jocks though, nothing inherently wrong with enjoying sports.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I felt the same, and I want sports to be a vehicle for teaching people about fitness, and teamwork. I am not sure I still do, it so often dissolves into toxic competition, self harm, injury, violence, riots and a general us against them attitude.

I hope people get good things from sports and avoid the bad things.

Plenty of traditionally nerdy things devolve into those as well. Except riots maybe.

I've always seen it as meaning the type of douche who would pitch anything to YC

tech bros are people like musk, zuckerberg, a little bezos, altman,,,etc. same goes for cryptobros, people that peddle the actual crypto, but are very bad at it or they arnt even investing in it themselves. i know someone who was peddling obscure one as actual success.

gates, and Jobs is another.

Rich people? I don't think I follow what's in common with all those people you mentioned.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are definitely not who come to mind when I think of tech bro.
