Sounds great, honestly. I do program in my spare time, but I don't play video games, or board games; I don't care about comic-book movies; I'm not interested in prognosticating about cryptocurrencies; I don't think repetitive "sportsball" jokes are funny; and I really, really don't care about the specs of your new drone, tablet, phone, etc.

It's nice having programmer co-workers who like to talk about almost anything else. If having other interests makes you a "brogrammer" then, well, OK, I guess I like brogrammers.

It's funny to me that OP was basically lamenting that there are normal people who happen to be programmers in Denver. Isn't the nerd culture dominant in software frequently cited as part of the reason women drop out of the industry at higher rates than men?

Sorry, no, that is not what I was saying at all. I also do not appreciate that logical leap you tried to impose.

You like well rounded people. You do not understand the term. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brogrammer Interesting well rounded people are cool. Being a sterotypical frat boy is not.

I understand the term to refer to something that's more or less a reactionary myth. There are no "brogrammers." They don't exist. It's an idiotic, reactionary term, best forgotten.

Okay then.
