tech bros*, not tech people, there's a difference, please
tech bros .... modern day snake oil salesmen
in the 1910s it was a fast talking showmen on a soapbox saying he can cure galloping consumption with heroin
in the 1970s we saw them as fast talking car salesmen with checkered suits
in the 2020s they'll be identified as CEOs in t-shirts and jeans
Nah, snake oil salesman actually look dandy, tech bros are just ugly.
Tech people is a gendered version. At least in my mind.
"Person" does not carry the same connotations as "bro."
I'm of the opinion that women can be bros.
Bros it is.
Bro in the way that frat bros act not the fact that they have penises.
Wait reading that again what gender are people?
That theranos ceo you might call a tech bro?
Yeah, might be, but more complete fraudster.
