He was not a tech bro
I really hate how "tech bro" has become a catch-all slur against for anyone working in tech by the tech illiterate.
Why not? Because he's dead and can't protest against the distortion of his views?
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.
