We don't have to call everybody who works with code a "tech bro". He seems like a perfectly normal and relatable person.
But I've been saying that and being downvoted for it for years.
I've very suspicious of how all this info about him is being brought to me.
...and placed at your feet?
What client are you using, that sounds surreal.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. I'm referring to how he's being presented as a techbro and not a tech worker or how I learned he came from a rich family before I learned he has chronic back pain.
I have that user marked as "dumbass troll", I wouldnt recommend engaging with them.
...This account, anyway.
lel anyone that challenges me is a troll glad I'm on Lemmy
Responded like a true troll.
I'm not engaging anymore. I thought I had spelled a word wrong or something at first.
If you don't like the news, no one's forcing it on you.
People on Lemmy have shit reading comprehension.
If anything it sounded like he wanted to be a game dev and gave up on it (probably because it actually kind of sucks as a cog in a AAA company) and that sounds like a ton of people I know.
Maybe you relate to people who went to a $40k/year private high school. I certainly don’t. I even interned as a math teacher at such a school.
Try getting kids to study algebra when they just missed 2 months of school on a vacation with their parents backpacking through Europe.
Family supposedly owns a country club. Prominent baltimore family. If that is so, that is definitely up there in the capitalist class and not working class. Still was rooting for him. Just would have been alot cooler if was a working class guy.
Class traitors from the owner class are welcomed with open arms. This only proves that anyone can do something good in the world.
Working class people can't get time off work to do their assassinations. If they could the world would be a better place.
Someone higher up the ladder actually cared about us down below. Empathy is a hell of a drug. "If it's this bad for me it must be even worse for others."
If you look at history a lot of revolutions start with someone pretty close to or even part of the bourgeoisie.
I taught school in a correctional facility for youth. I was the first person on either side of my family to get a college degree. I was given chicken bouillon as a kid when I was hungry and we didn't have food and wore hand me downs.
So no. Fuck off with your assumptions.
He's spitting facts though
You can take my japan real hole from my cold dead hands
You win, I don't wanna get anywhere near your cold dead hole.

Human interaction is important. One of the problems with capitalism is the commodification of that human interaction (or what that human interaction used to provide for free). Really only the last point diverges, but it is somewhat related in that a shared set of activities can bring forth positive human interactions (e.g. progressive movements have come up or gained momentum from church gatherings, see the civil rights movement in the US).
Holy shit it's the guy that has the username I wanted.
Hello fellow hark! As someone who hasn't been able to obtain the name elsewhere, I feel your pain.
You only say he is relatable because he wanted to kill a rich guy who profited by being terrible.
I worked in Tech Startups, not in the Valley but in London UK, and the Tech Bros aren't the Techies, they're the Founders and nowadays (unlike back in the 90s when I also was in the Industry) Founders are generally not Techies but rather people from a salesmanship-heavy background (so Finance types, Marketing types and so on).
Blaming Techies for the shit from Tech Bros is just profound ignorance, since the mindset that make a person good at coding (such as attention to detail and favoring precisision and clarity) are the very opposite of the Tech Bro behaviour (promising the impossible, weaving fantastic stories about Tech and making broad and vague claims about how Society works and what Tech can do).
I worked in tech for decades. We’re not all ‘tech bros’, bro. Most people I worked with are entirely normal.
Yeah! Like, no doubt there is at least something else relatable about him.
He's relatable because, aside from going to fancy schools, his life experiences are very similar to mine.
