The rebounding of casual toxic masculinity/macho-ism in Tech, as demonstrated in the title, makes me sad. As a stereotypical nerdy kid who got into computers in the 80s, I saw Tech as a refuge where who you were didn't matter nearly so much as what you could do.

To a large extent, I think the money to be made in Tech after 2009 has attracted kids to CS who in another time would have majored in business. The only saving grace is that the popularity of CS as a major seems to be drawing in talented women and minorities who haven't been exposed to programming.
