Tech bros are not really techie themselves as they are really just Wall Street bros with tech as their product. Most claim they can code, but if they were coders they would be coding. They are not coders, they are businessmen through and through.who just happen to sell tech.

I dislike techbros as much as you, but this isn't really a valid statement.

I can code, but I can't sell a crypto scam to millions of rubes.

If I could, why would I waste my time writing code?

Many techbros are likely "good enough" coders who have better marketing skills and used their tech knowledge to leverage into business instead.

That is the thing though. The real talented tech people tend to be more in the weeds of the tech and get great enjoyment from that. The “tech bros” are more into groups, people, social structures, manipulation, controlling and such and would go crossed eyed if they really had to code something complex as they could never sit that long and concentrate. These are not these same people. Tech bros want you to think they are tech gurus as that is their brand, but it is a lie.
