What does this mean? I've never heard the term.
Tbh,i don't really understand the "brogrammer" thing either. I got my CS degree, then was at Google, and then the first employee at a tiny startup and none of those experiences gave me any inkling of what the brogrammer stereotype might be. Isn't the programmer stereotype literally the opposite of a "bro"?
- jldugger 9y agoPortmanteau of bro and snowflake. Presumably as in "special snowflake" but maybe also "easily destroyed by sunlight."
- fenomas 9y ago> "broflakes" It's meant to be a portmanteau of "bro" and "snowflake" (implying more or less that someone sees themselves as a special snowflake, and gets upset when not treated that way). Like both the words it comprises, I find it's more of a disparaging name for people the speaker dislikes, than a label for a discernible subgroup of people.
