I always thought the whole brogrammer thing was kind of a nod to everything that the community is not. It seems akin to the "D&D enthusiasts are devil worshipers." hysteria back in the day. More than a few people when asked what they did when they played by those that had no idea what it was like would say something like "Oh. You know; we don our blackest robes and light candles at midnight etc. etc." Of course, this would get around and then you'd end up with 'that guy' trying to join your gaming group. No one seriously considers themselves a brogrammer and if they do, they just mark themselves as someone not to be taken seriously... Oh well, I guess we have to declare the joke over because now there is a weird feedback loop creating a self fulfilling brogrammer subculture. |

That's what I thought at first, but there are actually programmers who do that. There's been a lot of discussion here about it, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3168038 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3663244
