While I appreciate anything that attempts to suppress the 'anti-social nerd' stereotype associated with programming and other specialist computing fields; I don't think it's entirely appropriate to do so by becoming the polar opposite of that. Especially by using stupid terms like 'brogamming' or making portmanteaux of words starting with 'bro'.
The aspirational tone of the article is dreadful, too. So one guy listens to Swedish dubstep? That doesn't make him a role mode. Just someone who has his own routine.
In fact, I'd hate to be defined by that... I've done all this amazing work, and people remember me only because I listened to Swedish dubstep.

I mean, plenty of us listen to Swedish death metal and/or black metal, and we don't go around patting ourselves on that back for that. Not sure what any of that has to do with programming in the first place...
