Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always thought the "brogrammer" stereotype stemmed from a rise of people within the tech industry that broke the classical notion of a software geek. Individuals whom were excellent software engineers, yet whose life did not revolve around a glowing computer screen; and had other hobbies like surfing, biking, etc.

Anyway, the article on CNN is quite funny, but I'm slightly saddened in that there are people who will read this and honestly believe that this is a real problem.

I suppose that if all it takes to be a brogrammer is to have hobbies that don't revolve around a computer, then I'm pegged. Which is weird since I spent almost my entire weekend playing video games. So maybe I'm a nerd after all.
