How do you define Tech bros? I lump them in Commerce category in my head.

Computer Science/Engineering people I have encountered are more into liberatory politics (whether they overtly acknowledge it/are awareof it or not)

I define tech bros as people who want to solve every single problem with an app. World hunger? I'm building an app for it, bro. Climate crisis? I'm building an app for it.

For instance, the number of COVID trackers built in 2020 was ridiculous. These websites/apps didn't really make any meaningful difference, but the people who built it speak about it like it did.
