Tech bro

Uncommon card · No. 179387

"Tech bro" (or "brogrammer") is a slang term for stereotypically masculine individuals working in the technology industry, particularly programming and Silicon Valley companies. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a tech bro is "someone, usually a man, who works in the digital technology industry, especially in the United States, and is sometimes thought to not have good social skills and to be too confident about their own ability." While originally used to describe a specific cultural phenomenon in the San Francisco Bay Area's tech scene, the term "tech bro" has evolved to become a broader criticism of the tech industry's culture and power dynamics. The terms are often used pejoratively to describe alleged toxic masculinity and sexism in the technology industry. Some programmers self-describe themselves as a brogrammer (a portmanteau of bro and programmer) positively as a word for "sociable or outgoing programmer", and it also represents a subculture within the greater tech industry.
