When I see "brogrammer" used I have to fight to not flip the bozo bit for that person.

It's a bizarre reversal of high school, where people want to be mad at "bros" for invading the sanctity of the programming world. It's now cool to be un-cool.

Creating groups to direct your ire towards for the imagined problems of the tech industry isn't going to help anyone. Solving problems is about being inclusive, not exclusive.

On a similar note the lynch mob mentality when somebody steps over the line just means that everyone is going to be scared of going anywhere near that line. In the long term just this trends towards a boring politically correct future.

the imagined problems of the tech industry

Are you really making the case that there aren't any real problems in the tech industry? That's a pretty extreme stance.

Clearly not. It's just easier for journalists to write some fluffy piece about programming culture than it is to write anything profound involving numbers of whatever.
