How widespread is the "toxic bro culture"? Is it regional or a particularly silicon-valley thing. Is it more common in startups or with younger employees?

Do most techies personally relate to this sentiment?

That's going to depend how you define it. I worked at a place where:

    Don’t reward good behaviour with scotch, don’t tap kegs at 12pm, and don’t host video game or ping pong tournaments

Very precisely described the culture. The place was owned by a woman and that was the culture she chose to put in place. Is that a bro culture?

I don't know. It all seems very alien to me. But I often see blog posts like these which make it seem ubiquitous.
