    Interesting, to me a tech bro means someone who isn’t really interested in tech other than as a vehicle to make money. The people going fad after fad through blockchain, metaverse, NFTs, AI, all as an investment opportunity without actually having any real technical knowledge about any of it. The people who aren’t geeks but are faking it as a front to convince investors and consumers that they invented something of value. A fake interest in LOTR fits my view of tech bros exactly.

    The people happy to build the Torment Nexus and name it after a LOTR artifact as if it wasn’t an affront to LOTR.
