Bro went his whole career and managed to somehow create a gig for himself where he gets the AI money while playing Atari. It's hard to increase the respect for someone who you already maxed out on but there we go. Carmack is a cool guy.

Although Carmack is the quintessential not-a-brogrammer.

  I've never actually seen a brogrammer though, I've seen people who program only because they get money for it, I thought for a while those where it, but I'm not sure if I think they qualify either.

    It means “programmer I don’t like”. Very versatile insult and vague enough that it’s impossible to defend against.

      No, I'm pretty sure it's just a programmer that understands the world in terms of bros.

        "in the terms of bros" what does that even mean? I think bro is a term that's used pretty widely, for different things, in different cultures and contexts, I call my brother bro.. I've heard people call their friends bro.. I've heard someone tell a police officer "don't tase me, bro"..

    From watching on the wall I've seen brogrammer used in various contexts (this is not an exhaustive list): - Someone who is a programmer but follows a hypermasculine cliche and makes sure everyone knows about it. - An insult used by other developers for someone who is more physically fit or interested in their health than themselves. - An insult used by engineers or other people who are not happy with the over representation of men in the industry. So everyone is lumped in the category. - Someone who is obsessed with the technology and trying to grind their skills on it to an excessive level.

      > someone who is more physically fit or interested in their health than themselves Isn't "interested in their health" a signal that they are interested in themselves, rather than the opposite?

        Disambigation: I believe "themselves" refers to the one insulting, not the one interested in their health. It tripped me up too, to be fair.

        Apologies, grammar is hard.
