Call yourself a brogrammer? Let's hang out.
- ColinWright 15y agoI have no problem with people having a great time. I have no problem with people enjoying themselves. I have no problem with jokes, and laughs, and general messing about. In some cases I just find myself feeling that people will probably be brilliant to work with in 10 years time when they grow up and mature a bit. Similarly, sometimes I cringe, or even step up and say that certain behavior is unacceptable, being rude, insulting, inappropriate, or offensive. And it depends on the context. But to be blunt, when someone describes themselves as a brogrammer it just makes me expect the worst. Impressions count.
- dmschulman 15y agothe inherent irony in all this brogrammer stuff is that these guys want to get into software and programming "for the chicks". me thinks someone watched 'the social network' one too many times. also, i know plenty of programmers who will crack a beer while they code. i know plenty of programmers who will listen to techno and drum n bass when they code. i know plenty of programmers who are funny, friendly, and socially well adjusted people. having these qualities does not make them "bros". if you're only meeting geeks who "suck the life out of everything" and who are "boring and stupid" then i think the issue is that you're not getting out of the office enough.
