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).
Yeah! Like, no doubt there is at least something else relatable about him.
I worked in tech for decades. We’re not all ‘tech bros’, bro. Most people I worked with are entirely normal.
He's relatable because, aside from going to fancy schools, his life experiences are very similar to mine.
