I think I finally have a way to explain the difference between a tech nerd and a techbro to normal people! Tech nerds are those who *could* build Aperture Science (have the scientific/technological understanding). Techbros are those who *would* build Aperture Science if they could (no regard on whether you should and whether ethics would allow it, the point is to do tech because ??? and probably some financial motivations). 😆

With normal people, I mean the niche who has played the Portal games... 😆

No, but seriously. All the tech nerds I know have a deep *actual* understanding of technology, but also have some understanding on ethics, privacy, security, consequences of things... Techbros on the other hand, seem to have a superficial understanding on technology, they see just the shiny parts and want more of it, and to sell it. Ethics? Privacy? Security? Consequences? No, they just want shiny things because they're shiny and they can probably sell them. I think that's the difference. 🤔

And unfortunately, it seems the amount of techbros in the tech industry has grown over the years. I think it's just that "tech" is very profitable, so everyone's jumping on the bandwagon for profit. Not because they're passionate or want to create anything good. Back when tech was a niche, and not seen as profitable, you had the nerds do it. It was better IMO. There was actually thought that was put into things. Now it's just business for the most part. So much for capitalistic innovation.
