so i work in tech as a tech person but im unsure if im a "tech bro" or just someone who works in tech. its kinda hard to judge because i kinda dont talk to what people probably consider techbros.

anyone got any ideas on a decent description?

Tech bro is anyone who defends capitalism by saying that technological innovation will solve the current crisis.

Yesterday it was crypto, today it is AI and tomorrow it will be a combination of the two or something new.

Not to be confused with "jackass" or someone who belittles other people over their apparent lack of technical skill or knowledge, thats not just in the IT industry. CS has it bad because the field changes so rapidly.
