As it turns out, Volkswagen has been collecting extensive geo data from all their electric cars and made them available online in an AWS bucket. Almost 10TB of geo traces from 15 MiO cars. Amazing detail and patterns. This is why I don't want a smart car 🤯 https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/event/wir-wissen-wo-dein-auto-steht-volksdaten-von-volkswagen/ #Volksdaten
You’re confusing the people who wrote the code with the product (business) team that decided they could monetize it. Engineers in large companies have zero creative control, and the people who do look more like wall street finance bros than the guys on silicon valley. Not that they don’t also suck, but please get why they suck.
Tech bros refers to a misogynistic behavior within tech circles and especially software development tied to traditional ideas that women can’t be technical because their vaginas get in the way. As a secondary bonus this leads to women trying to crush other women.
I think you might want to read that Wikipedia article, because it makes it very clear that the way you’re using it is not the only way it is used. That is generally not how people use it these days.
It always amazes me when people insist a word must have only one meaning and that must be the original meaning.
The idea that language isn’t fluid is very silly to me, and by that, I don’t mean prosperous. Maybe it isn’t the best meme.
Well the article is about two paragraphs long, so why don’t you highlight the section you think backs up your point because I sure don’t see it.
And to be clear, a product executive at VW is by no stretch “in tech”. I’d even consider IBM to be more of a tech company than VW, and IBM has more in common with PWC than apple.
but some programmers self-describe themselves as a brogrammer positively as a word for “sociable or outgoing programmer”, and it also tends to represent a subculture within the greater tech industry.
So that’s three different meanings for the same word. Again, it sounds to me like it’s possible for words to have more than one meaning or for word meanings to change. But that’s just my liberal woke viewpoint obviously.
So you’re leaning harder into the part I took most issue with? The deciders here are not programmers. Also, that behavior is a coping mechanism for not wanting to believe they are misogynistic douches.
And uh…what the fuck are you talking about with bringing in liberal woke viewpoint as a thing in this conversation? I sincerely hope you’re just a Russian troll because otherwise you’re incomprehensible.
No, you’re right. Words only ever mean one thing and it is only the original thing they meant and not the thing they mean now. How nice of me. I’ll try not to be so prestigious in my posts from now on and try to be more of a bully.

What if tech bros could be considered bad for two reasons?
No. No it does not.

Because I see you skipped the first search result I’ll put this here for you https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brogrammer

You’re blaming the toxic worker for the differently toxic management decisions.

I mean it’s literally right there:

Bro but why would you blame management, ie decisions makers within corpo structure, when you could be blaming the wagie…
Not very capitalist of you, mate!
