Well the prevalence of programmers referring to themselves or others as ninjas and jedis has the effect of proving that brogrammer culture hasn't taken over...the industry is as nerdy as ever.
- akavi 14y agoI have yet to be convinced that brogramming exists outside of jokes by nerdy Starcraft-playing Facebook devs and the fevered dreams of CNN tech reporters.
- mattupstate 14y agoI am so in accordance with that sentiment.
- calibraxis 14y agoI've met them. Once went to a Ruby meeting, and the presentation's slides featured "My Little Brony". The guy's desktop background was of a manga girl with very exaggerated features, and some in the audience (they were all males) called out for him to keep the screen on her. I left after the talk, and won't go again.
- ticks 14y agoI don't know, seems more childish than nerdy to me. Being nerdy is being enthusiastic about something, whereas all this Ninja stuff is like escaping from the real world and hiding in your childhood imagination.
