"Tech bro" describes a few people at the top (think Adam Neumann or Travis Kalanick) known for their bad behavior but unfortunately is used by the media to paint the rest of the men in tech with the same negative light.

The irony is that these people don't have a strong technical role -- they are mostly founders and executives. It's the people working under them with less influence who are doing all the hands-on tech work.

While I don’t agree with the label, one could argue that there’s a deep problem at the heart of tech culture where developers are happy to prop up cultish frauds or criminal behavior for a good paycheck. Neither Neumann or Kalanick got to where they are without a lot of people enabling them.
