The Official
Canadian Tech Bro Test

Have you ever...

The Canadian Tech Bro Test has historically served as a segue from poutine to Python. It's a voluntary opportunity for tech and eng majors in Canada to bond, and to track the maturation of their experiences throughout their tech career.

Caution: This is not a bucket list. Completion of all items on this test will likely result in the abscence of maple syrup.

Take the Canadian Tech Bro Test to discover your tech bro score. Answer honestly by checking all items you have done.
