The thing you have to understand about techbros is that these are not intelligent people. Greedy, yes. Intelligent, no.
Yes, for me the bros coming to prominence in our industry was a profound loss.
I came of age in a tech culture, that while not very diverse, was open, welcoming, and supportive.
"Tech" today is a sewer, a huge part of the larger problems we face.
Oh, except for here .
@CartyBoston I think the problem is summarised neatly by that word “industry.” Extractivism charting the course for humanity is how we ended up in this mess. Until and unless we invest our common wealth in preserving and enhancing the common good, this is the path we’ll continue stumbling down.
