@JessTheUnstillJess👾 there's a dimension of psychology here, that can't really be glossed over. The OP would be perhaps stated a little differently, to accommodate this psychological dimension:

"People who aren't good with technology first need to develop humility, and turn down the dial of trust in their own emotionally-based (not all that factually-based) intuitions - to select TechBros dead-end technologies - and turn up the dial of trust in favoring those who are good with technology, and aren't the insidious, untrustworthy TechBros"
