Also from midwest. Same experience, with the exception of a few people who get really cranky when politics comes up and they realize they are working with a bunch of liberals.
South east here and yeah same. The overwhelming majority of my coworkers couldn’t be farther from the techbro stereotypes and most of them tend towards the progressive side of the spectrum.
Seems like most “tech bros” aren’t really developers. They’re moving up the ladder or founding a startup and talking to VCs. Or possibly devs in the gaming industry. Most regular developers I know aren’t “tech bros”
Count yourself lucky. I’ve been in the business a shockingly long time and I’d say most of my peers leen towards the right, though more are libertarians than are MAGAts.
Yes, there are things even worse than libertarianism.
And some of the most radical lefties I’ve met in the business are very senior, some C-level. I’m not sure what to make of that.
I have a similar experience, but even with people in southern Ohio and Kentucky (where a lot of my current co-workers are), there is the opposite of a conservative tech-bro trend.

Yeah, they trade on their family’s money and connections, and don’t really know how to do anything but what to kiss and when. Scum of the earth.

It’s the Kroger kids isn’t it?
