"we are sometimes portrayed as snobby and entitled"
Huh? That's not at all the stereotype I see associated with programmers. More like the opposite. In fact, a gag like this is much more in line with the stereotype I'm familiar with.
- azhenley 9y agoExactly what I was thinking when I read the stackexchange post. This is just enforcing the stereotype that programmers can't be taken seriously ("bro culture"?).
- rapind 9y agoI wouldn't accuse them of being "brogrammers" though either. This just sounds like an appreciation for obscure references, play on words, maybe a bit of mild mischief? Not at all what I picture when I hear "bro culture". I'd call it "nerd humour" maybe (being a nerd myself, I feel like I can get away with the insult)?
