Tech Bro Spending Priorities

Text on the meme

Men in tech will literally buy a maxed out MacBook Pro and a Herman Miller chair because “I spend 30-40% of my life using this, the expense is justified” and then spend 24/7 in the same couple of awfully fitting T-shirts they got for free from some startup 5 years ago.

What it means

A text meme contrasts expensive tech equipment and ergonomic furniture with the cheap, ill-fitting startup T-shirts worn constantly by tech workers. The joke is that they rationalize major purchases as necessary for work while neglecting their everyday clothing, making fun of tech-bro priorities and startup culture.
