@phiofx@hachyderm.io not sure I'd agree that the unbearable tech bros that comment on the orange site are broadly representative of techies in general. I'd suggest that they are the vocal minority. HN is wretched hive of scum and villainy. I'd identify as a "techie" but I also get angry as hell whenever I browse HN threads that go any deeper than "cool website bro" for all the reasons you outlined.
