I'm a bit ambivalent about the overall theme of the essay, but this bit in particular is spot on:

"But worse than the brogrammers, I think it's the 'entrepreneurs' that bug me the most. The word feels so tainted now"

The word entrepreneur is approaching 'thought leader' as far as being eyeroll worthy. I have deep admiration for people who start their own business and work hard, but some LinkedIn profiles of self described 'entrepreneurs' are so utterly shameless. Even worse are the subtle variations on the theme - serial entrepreneur, social-media entrepreneur, etc etc...
