What does "techbro" mean in workplace slang?
This term became common during the 2010s Silicon Valley boom. Today, it is used to describe a man in tech who is boastful, self-promoting, and follows stereotypical "bro" culture — wearing hoodies, using buzzwords like "disrupt," and oversimplifying real-world problems with apps. People often use "techbro" as an insult to call out arrogance or shallow thinking in the industry.
Examples
He 's such a techbro, always bragging about his startup.
