I think being a “Techie” is now something that is splitting.

- People who want to work in tech because it was a stable and/or lucrative career

- People who just want/love to code

- People who loved tech / think tech is cool

There’s also a degree of counter-culture that used to be part of the mix, which got jettisoned as tech became mainstream and mapped out.

The current state of Tech is unpleasant and alarming.
