I’m not convinced that techbros respect computer science either. The bit that says ‘computer’ gives them an air of intellect and elitism by proximity, but it’s not actually a field they care to practise.

True, but its a different form of disrespect, where they outwardly steal the style and aesthetics of the discipline to try to claim its legitimacy. Like the endless "whitepapers" pumped out by cryptobros.
