We don't have to call everybody who works with code a "tech bro". He seems like a perfectly normal and relatable person.
But I've been saying that and being downvoted for it for years.

If anything it sounded like he wanted to be a game dev and gave up on it (probably because it actually kind of sucks as a cog in a AAA company) and that sounds like a ton of people I know.
The serious back injury would explain the hard turn his life made.
Also, if you really want to hate the insurance companies, it's easy: get surgery in America. I thought his rage was from a friend who wasnt rich enough for cancer treatments; here it's a bad skiing accident and the years of bill negotiation that pushed him over the edge.
But that could be me in the same situation. I have a back injury that is never going to improve, but its progress is slowed by proper care and lots of help. A bad turn if I was American and even my good tech job wouldn't be enough. At-will state and I'm laid-off like that, no job means no coverage, no coverage means I sell my everything for anything. Ich bin copaybacker.
Human interaction is important. One of the problems with capitalism is the commodification of that human interaction (or what that human interaction used to provide for free). Really only the last point diverges, but it is somewhat related in that a shared set of activities can bring forth positive human interactions (e.g. progressive movements have come up or gained momentum from church gatherings, see the civil rights movement in the US).
He's spitting facts though
You can take my japan real hole from my cold dead hands
You only say he is relatable because he wanted to kill a rich guy who profited by being terrible.
I worked in Tech Startups, not in the Valley but in London UK, and the Tech Bros aren't the Techies, they're the Founders and nowadays (unlike back in the 90s when I also was in the Industry) Founders are generally not Techies but rather people from a salesmanship-heavy background (so Finance types, Marketing types and so on).
Blaming Techies for the shit from Tech Bros is just profound ignorance, since the mindset that make a person good at coding (such as attention to detail and favoring precisision and clarity) are the very opposite of the Tech Bro behaviour (promising the impossible, weaving fantastic stories about Tech and making broad and vague claims about how Society works and what Tech can do).
Yeah! Like, no doubt there is at least something else relatable about him.
I worked in tech for decades. We’re not all ‘tech bros’, bro. Most people I worked with are entirely normal.
I've very suspicious of how all this info about him is being brought to me.
Nope. He still didn't do it. I don't care what links I have shoved in my face. This guy didn't do it.
Side note, The Back Mechanic really helped me.
Years of chiropractic didn’t fix shit. Couple weeks following that book? Huge improvement.
Thats awesome!
Unfortunately I'm not suprised chiropracics didn't help, it's rooted in complete bunk pseudoscience, which is frustrating when they take money from people who really need help with chronic pain or other ailments
I'm really glad you were able to find your solution, back issues are miserable
You want a quality physiotherapist not a chiropractor. This is what much of the rest of the world does without marketing.
Finally someone making sense in comments
The guy who invented chiropracty literally claims that an alien angel taught it to him.
don't forget the homeopathy bullshit
As always the real pro tip is in the comments.
Wow. She had enough money to live in a million dollar house, send her kids to expensive prep schools but that kind of money is nothing in the face of severe medical expenses in the US of A. It’s worth remembering that if you don’t have 10’s of millions or really hundreds of millions of dollars, you’re a bad medical situation away from physical, mental and financial ruin.
When I was in America for a few years, what made me leave was the realization that a bad car accident would ruin me financially instead of in my home country where I got an arm cast before they knew my health number.
So I went home. Fuck that.
Same here. Now I watch as some people enthusiastically leave for the US. I tell them, "you don't know yet, you don't get it" but they think it'll be different for them. So good luck!
I’m glad they took him alive, and that the jury will get to hear/read this.
Seriously. Dude is traumatized by what happened to his mother.
Christ... What a grim read. :(
Holy fuck. Luigi Mangione is a hero. May he live to find a cure for his pain, and may his name inspire us to take action.
Soon you are only allowed to buy an AR15 provided that you are in perfect health.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
Well, it all makes too much sense now.
Really? This is just the story I thought everyone was expecting?
There were rumours being spread that he's insane.
It all seems very logical to me.
Him being insane is the only way this doesn't spread. How convenient.
Chronic pain can make people do things they normally wouldn't do
Back pain is a killer.
