Its unfortunately that is your interpretation of the word because your definition is inflammatory
- AnimalMuppet 10y agoBy "word", I presume you mean "brogrammer". Do you have a less inflammatory definition? (I would claim that my definition is true to the current connotation of the word, even if not the current denotation.)
- iak8god 10y agoI've never seen/heard a non-derogatory use of "brogrammer" -- maybe gkilmain will enlighten us with some use I'm not aware of (has it already been reclaimed by brogrammers making in-group use of the term?), but the connotations are overwhelmingly negative: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=brogrammer http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=brogrammer
- gkilmain 10y agoYes. Remove everything after the word smart and add "(like most people in the programming profession)"
- khedoros 10y agoThat doesn't capture what I think of when someone says "brogrammer". At the very least, I think it also denotes a strong sense of machismo, with a connotation of disrespect for others and boorishness. It's not a positive term, generally speaking.
- johan_larson 10y agoI would define brogrammer as a programmer who acts like a (stereotypical) frat-boy. You know, living to party, acting up in boorish ways.
