What does brogramming mean ? I'm from brazil and this word doesn't make sense to me...

• Maro 15y ago
  Bro is slang for brother, which in this context is supposed to mean (male) buddies. I guess "brogramming" is supposed to mean "programming with buddies". These super-duper-cool-stealth-YC-startup job listings are becoming more idiotic every month.

  At first i thought it was a spelling error... I think it's something like bro-grammer: brother (so male) programmer. Anyway, is it sexist? At least in Italy you can't do that. But.. are there people who really like male only working environments?

    Don't think anybody does so it would be really stupid to ask for an environment like that and boring also...

  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=brogrammer http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=brogrammer I guess it means: "You write code, but you're not one of those nerds" Also see: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bro http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bro (definition #1) for what the "bro" part stands for. It's not technically "brother". When I was in college the term was a little more harsh: "douche" http://peoplewtf.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/DOUCHE-4.jpg http://peoplewtf.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/DOUCHE-4.jpg It seems they have better PR now.

  Other commenters are close, but I think it's referring more to the bro from lax culture. Lots of chilling, popping natties with fellow brahs/bros and other stuff you can read up on http://mylifeisbro.com http://mylifeisbro.com edit: hdctambien's comment is on-point with the urbandic link. I believe a similar synonym with less euphemistic connotations is douchebag in certain circles, but not amongst brahs. also see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi_AAqi0RZM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi_AAqi0RZM and this: http://www.quora.com/Brogramming/How-does-a-programmer-become-a-brogrammer http://www.quora.com/Brogramming/How-does-a-programmer-becom...

      Funny, but that's more mocking than really portraying bros accurately. This is probably more helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqg01Nk3SYI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqg01Nk3SYI and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4uDPZGYWmE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4uDPZGYWmE and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm4KlxG1SEg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm4KlxG1SEg&feature=relat... bonus round: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJh-13maChY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJh-13maChY

  It means: hey bro, we got funding from stupid investors, so come join our startup and hang out on our sofas until the bubble pops.
