        What part of him was bro-ey? He cared only about progressing technology and aiding civic causes. He was an activist, not a tech bro slamming champagne at cloud 9 in Aspen or throwing parties in a villa in Florida.

        Also, when you say somebody is something, you have to give a reason. You can’t just say “why aren’t they that?”

          Oh please. A tech-bro is just a male nerd who the cool kids don’t like.

      I really hate how “tech bro” has become a catch-all slur against for anyone working in tech by the tech illiterate.
