I may use the term "tech guy" or "tech bro" to refer, in an obviously hostile way, to a certain group - even a class fraction, in the sociological rather than a C++ sense - active particularly in the Bay Area.
Do not mistake that for some "luddite" or hippie dippy hostility to (or even ignorance of) tech itself.
I was coding before most of you were born. I've worked in Silicon Valley. I've administered networks and posix systems. I used to have a server rack in my living room. I've done key signing parties (not to be confused with key parties).
I love people doing cool shit with computers, just not people doing bullshit with VC funding.
