His insecurity is palpable.

> he term has been used to denigrate anyone who has done well with computers or who dares to be excited about them in ways that rub some people the wrong way

bro, it is the inflated sense of self-importance that's the annoying part, bro.

    You missed the point completely "bro", he does address this:

    > Their interest in computers, or their skill with them, is not the problem.

    An inflated sense of self-importance can be with anyone, including other genders, not just tech "bros".

    My issue with "tech bro" is that men who are discriminatory or otherwise offensive often aren't well-understood as fitting into any type of bro culture at all.

    Like I don't think it's true that the men in tech who work out or watch sports or whatever are worse than other men in tech. The "bro" part is kinda nonsensical.

Oh this fash bro trying to stay relevant by being an edgy contrarian. What an embarrassment. People like him are the reason the tech industry is hated.
