I miss when techbros were libertarians instead of writing free code for the future digital Gestapo (sh.itjust.works)

Like is it not painfully obvious that this kind of technology can be and is going to be used for a lot more than epic pwning people speaking Somali

Well if they are such good people I don't know why you'd call them Tech Bros.

Maybe I don't understand what that is supposed to mean. They are in tech, and some of them are men and probably brothers, or at least metaphorically bros. Is it supposed to be a bad thing? - oh, and if it is a bad thing by definition, then it's not an interesting thing that you've never met a "techbro who isn't a piece of shit" as the definition would already filter out the good people from being considered by you
