@petrillic hey if you moved down here, you could experience that every time you went out!
@bagmangood thanks. I hate it!
@petrillic me too! I would like the (other) tech people to leave - I'm here because of the weather not the scene
@petrillic That happened at the sushi place I was at in Ballard last weekend, except I was treated to the gender-neutralness of the term “tech-bro” as the maternal half of the parenting couple was regaling her partner with opinions about vibe coding.
@offby1 and as if willed into existence… the one woman at the table is now participating in the Everything is Awesome carnival of stupid.
