Welcome to being just like every other profession out there. Most people don't like talking about work when they're not on the job. Honestly, the "you can't have a life outside work" attitude is far more toxic to our profession than any kind of "brogrammers".
I remember someone on HN saying they like living in SV because they can go to a bar and end up talking about JavaScript frameworks with some random stranger there. That just horrifies me--the last thing I want to do when I'm relaxing after work is to talk shop! (and, to be fair, there were a number of comments replying to them expressing the same sentiment)
