It's not really tech bro's ... I don't encounter those people very often. I think that fraternity style vibe has kinda gone by the wayside. It's everyone else who aren't really technologists but want to get in on the gold rush. The social media marketing companies, the wordpress/magento factories, the crypto people, the uber-for-xyz... there is a lot of noise both literally and figuratively with these groups.

I'm currently "officing" in a WeWork dedicated desk. Out of all the desks immediately around me, I'm the only person working for a "tech" company. There's a building contractor, a couple designers, electrical engineers, and a Realtor, and a marketer for some distillery/alcohol co.

That sounds like a pretty cool snapshot of a diverse set of folks.

Just curious, what kind of company do the EEs work for if not tech?

[pinot]

Just guessing, but probably traditional electrical engineers. Like designing the power system for a restaurant buildout or whatever.

[badwolf]

Exactly this. The fellow in the desk right next to me is doing the power/lighting work for a new restaurant going in in my apartment building - which is how I found out that’s what he does, when I ran into him outside my building entrance.

Don't forget the bootcamps. A company I departed about two years ago was in a Regus spot. We watched 4 bootcamps in 3 years pop up for 6-8 weeks at a time, graduate a "class", pack up and leave.

That amusingly describes we work as well - they are clearly marketers above all else - you can tell because they speak in pure buzzword instead of technical aspects at all - even by the standards of overhyped technologies.
