> presents the “brogrammer” startup culture in all its grit and glory
Not one of the main characters could be described as a Brogrammer.
> Each month at least 70m people play “League of Legends”, a complex multiplayer online game; that is more than play baseball, softball or tennis worldwide.
... soccer?
> The “sharing economy”, exemplified by Lyft and Airbnb, also was originally a nerd thing: they prefer renting to buying stuff.
or we prefer cheap/better. Uber and Lyft are cheaper than a taxi and better. AirBnB means I can rent an apartment instead of a sketchy motel. If anything Zipcar would be a better example, pay to rent a car short term so you don't need to buy one. The whole point seems odd though.
> Brands like Mountain Dew and Doritos have sponsored video-game competitions
and are mocked for it... Drink verification can.
as a nerd I don't really like being lumped in with Dew chugging CoD players or anything to do with LoL. kinda /s
> that feels as awkward to watch as an engineer trying to do stand-up comedy for the first time
because engineers aren't funny right.
