As an old-school nerd and non-neurotypical person, I think that's both wrong and insulting. I have never felt targeted by the term "tech bro".

You could probably get at what people mean by it by starting with "person I dislike in tech" and asking exactly who they dislike and why. It's not because they write code.

But if you want a cheat, TV Tropes has a pretty good explanation of how the tech bro stereotype differs from the average nerd: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TechBro

That’s a good reference web page, thank you. It makes it much easier for me to understand what others mean by it in mainstream usage.

I’ve unfortunately had some different life experiences of people using the term in other ways, dissimilar to the stereotype on TVTropes… or at least I perceived it as so.
