"These tech bros..."

Metaphorical SLAP

Let's use [[tech siblings]]

@flancian The entire point of the phrase "tech bro" is that the people it refers to are not just invariably men, but also men from a culture for whom the word "bro" makes a good descriptor.

Show me a load of women and NB folks from diverse social backgrounds getting tons of VC money thrown at them to force their dumb ideas on everyone and I might concede we need to rethink the term.

@dash https://siliconvalley.center/blog/female-leaders-of-silicon-valley-2025 maybe? It was a joke but I do think that it's not only men, there's way fewer but still significant amounts of women in startup/tech land. So why not be inclusive by default? :)
