"like us". It seems like the developer field has its share of Brogrammers and other non-traditionally nerdy types. Speaking as a super-nerdy science geek, it's probably not all bad that the field has widened - along with the bro's you get more women, non-compsci, and people-of-color entering the field, if some of the gate-keeping is relaxed. There are MD/PhD doctors out there at the cutting edge, but most docs are more like PC repair techs - swap things out until the problem goes away, have a basic understanding of the underlying tech. You don't have to be a chip designer to swap a motherboard, or follow the electrons to prescribe some meds :-)
