<i>&gt;countless new techbros with no respect for Seattle culture who spend 11hrs&#x2F;day at work and don&#x27;t have time to develop a personality romping around town give it a real bad reputation.</i><p>I think you do a great job summarizing the hypocrisy of the left on this issue.  According to the left, if a person is financially disadvantaged, they deserve sympathy and support.  However if a person is <i>socially</i> disadvantaged[0], they not only deserve it, but also should be shamed for taking up space that more interesting people could be occupying.<p>[0] I don&#x27;t believe for a second that there are many people working 11 hours a day.  The people you describe are simply more introverted&#x2F;shy people who work in tech, and you&#x27;re looking for some explanation that makes their social situation their own fault.
