    It’s not a pipeline. 2018 and 2025 guys either had 2014 guy killed or they ruined his life and forced him into suicide.

    Oh I am still at the 2014 phase.

    We… used to have a term for people that advanced further: sell-outs.

    Though I do very much prefer the recently popularized Cyberpunk lingo:

    Fucking Corpo Scum.

        7 figures??? That’s not selling out, that’s just trying to get anything for a sinking ship if you sell for a million. Thats barely covering salary+expenses for 2-5 engineers depending on level and location.

        I’m taking the money and giving a fat chunk of it to programs and things that my government refuses to do anything about. I don’t give a fuck about shallow things like “selling out.”

              Trump owns the government, all the taxes you’re paying go into his pockets and pockets of his friends. Especially after DOGE went through the offices.

                I can see that. I’d hope I could offset it by actually dumping my personal funds into working class programs and offer direct relief, but I know it’s a stupid thought exercise. The reality is that I’ve been in tech for years and have always actively avoided FAANG companies, and any and all paths that lead to corporate or management.

                  You’ll be better off dumping your cash into stock and shares.

        How many here are working for these tech bros or putting money on their companies?

    People like 2025 guy have never held thoughts like the other 2, they were always self serving cunts. They just kept a facade till they depended on others, but once they joined the rich fucks club, they dropped the facade.

    Bad meme. Implies “information wants to be free” leads to “have you considered monetizing empathy?”

      yeah, the “information wants to be free” and the other two are completely different people….
      it’s more like, 3 different kinds of tech people:

      also, i’m going to call this “tech-bro” thing sexism… women are awesome in tech and the field can be very exclusionary… just because society has been keeping women out of tech, doesn’t mean you can just assume they’re all bros….

      also check out unixsocks… they’re definitely not bros….

    I have a very very real problem with this oversimplification of very distinct tech viewpoints.

    Like, what, you dont think information should be freely available? You LIKE the model where information is locked down with hefty fees? Because that’s what the actual “tech bros” want.

    This is at best ignorant and at worst just hateful.

      Also the timeline should ne more like 1990 : Information wants to be free

      Bill Gates: No

      Etc.

    The first one is a hacktivist, the second one is an OSS dev, and the third is a tech bro. So not really a pipeline since there are still hacktivists, OSS devs, ans tech enthusiasts (also most tech bros started in finance)
