Tech Baddie
A person in tech who ignores manuals, best practices, and Stack Overflow rabbit holes, instead solving problems through pure instinct, random experimentation, and chaotic good energy. They don't troubleshoot — they vibe troubleshoot. Where others see a dead end, a tech baddie sees an unlabeled boot option and clicks it.

"She didn't read the documentation. She just started clicking random BIOS options until the server came back online. Absolute tech baddie behavior."
