Interesting to watch the term "brogrammer" evolve. I'm not entirely sure what it means anymore

It means people with personalities more than one standard deviation away from the speakers' personal social preferences w/r/t techies (and "neckbeard" is reserved for the other end of the curve).

Choosing "bro" as the label is not a particularly meaningful descriptor, it's just a subgroup that is OK to openly deride.
