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?

amen.

before "tech bro" was a term, my insult for these people--the tech evangelists who don't actually know shit--was to say to them, "what, are you in [fucking] sales?" because i swear to god that was how it broke down every place i worked.

the underpaid people who fixed broken shit all day vs the clowns who pretended to know everything and over promised the world to get a signature. because their clients would call in and wonder why the technology they bought that doesn't even exist wasn't working how their "sales engineer" guy said it would. and we were forbidden from telling them their sales guy lied.
