@Brad_whitecross as a software developer of 40+ years experience, I'm wondering if you considered that chippies make chips and sparkies make sparks .. and .. hmn .. yes, you've hit the nail on the head, software developers make bugs.

.. nothing to see here 😁

Nicely done!

@Brad_whitecross Chippy and Sparky are commonly used by people in the trades in the US. But what we need is a term for Silicon Valley Techbros. I don't think "Silly" really captures the way I feel about them.
