so i work in tech as a tech person but im unsure if im a “tech bro” or just someone who works in tech. its kinda hard to judge because i kinda dont talk to what people probably consider techbros.

anyone got any ideas on a decent description?

      “Tech Bro” a lifestyle brand and self identity revolving around computer technology and networked communications.

      It was a late night comment and I can see it wasn’t all that clear.

      hmm, do u mean like home server stuff or like more than that

      Are you setting up a home network as a way to express your self identity? Are you going out and buying a network connect refridgerator, washer/dryer, toaster, oven just to say that you’re on the bleeding edge of technology? Then you might be a Tech Bro.

      Are you setting up a home network because you actually have some need or project that a network can help with? Do you think its a neat project to see what a home network can do? Probably not a Tech Bro.

      I guess another way to think about it would be the difference between “a person who playes video games” and “A Gamer”. I play video games. I enoy video games. But I don’t think my personal identity is intimately wound up in being a person who playes video games. I don’t keep up with the latest video games or hardware, I don’t really follow video game news, I don’t rush out to play the games that I hear the people around me are playing, I don’t feel like I’m missing out by not having a $2000 video card and a computer with a TB of ram or spending hundreds of dollars on old CRT TV’s and playing console games on the original hardware.
