"bro, it's all so stupid and shitty we just slapped a couple open source functions together, bro. It's all just hacked together and could break at any time. It's got so many bugs, but they just shipped it anyway. The only computer I would have in my house is a printer and I would shoot it if it made a weird sound cause I don't trust technology, bro. Security software, dude, it's like, everybody has bad passwords and it could just, like, break anytime - really makes you think, man."
Sorry, this post came out more angry than expected. I promise that I'm actually not mad about this; I just think it's funny. When you visualize me making this post, imagine me chuckling to myself and sipping on a nice cool aperol spritz through a novelty straw.
As a dev, techbros are insufferable but not for these reasons. They are fortunate enough that capitalists still have use for them and therefore can find good jobs, but many of them take that for granted and lecture everyone else that isn't a programmer and complains about their crappy job for "not trying hard enough".
Add to the mix a god complex that makes them disregard any book that isn't computer science, statistically coming from wealthier backgrounds, an obsession that everything can be fixed with technology, and you get a very reactionary lib.
will lecture everybody else about "not trying hard enough" while having the cushiest job possible where you can literally do nothing and still collect a big paycheck
