This article really hit home.
Especially her line about "Now I’m part of the irrelevant, established order of brogrammers."
I worked my ass off. Instead of going out to party, I studied. Even after graduating and beginning a job, I still studied every night.
Because tech is hard and I wanted to be more than just a programmer,I want to be a competent professional Software Engineer. I still study a few hours a day. I watch new lectures on youtube, I occasionally follow people like John Carmack on twitter, and I experiment with new coding techniques or styles.
I do not understand why working hard to gain skills is not "inspirational", or makes me a "brogrammer".
And I too have been told I'm not "inspirational" before. It makes me wonder if its some kind of code word.
I honestly am beginning to resent the politics involved.
