I just learned about this thing called "Brogrammers." These are programmers trying breaking the nerd stereotype of uncool.

I'm not sure if that just made me laugh, cry, or throw up in my mouth. Probably the later ...

You know this is fake when...

1. Most of the 'example' brogrammers use macs

2. They use that particularly ridiculous 'making a worm' scene from swordfish.

I'm all for trying to make programmers seem like more balanced people but to say this is skin deep is an understatement.

Casting aside my urge to say its gotta be fake.

The logic behind this can be summed up as "Pfffff, screw the intellectual smarty pants stereotype behind "nerds" that people only hated because they were not that smart! We wanna show people you can use computers and be a jar-head guido!"

Bleh... I see "Bro's" everywhere these days. But safe to say, I as a  :gay: VERY GAY :gay: guy... am far more masculine then these whey protein poofters :P I just happened to admit to liking guys instead of resorting to spray tan, cheap beer and raised trucks  to try and cover it up.

No idea what a "shawty" is or why you'd want them to "get low", but that brogrammer approved breakfast does look really yummy  ;D

Progaymmers unite! *wristbump* :p
