    For me, “Techbro” exclusively refers to people who repackage existing ideas and sell them as an innovation to VC investors. Think of how many techbros keep reinventing trains and boats, but worse.

      I picture those who didn’t embrace geek culture or esthetics, leaning more towards jock and fraternity culture instead, but who saw money in computers.

        Arrogant, posturing douchebags that don’t understand the technology they’re involved in and are unwilling to learn. Any “work” that’s done is by actual tech workers or tools creates by them.

        The tech bro is only in it for money and “prestige”
