> Brogrammers are mostly Silicon Valley / Harvard type douchebags who got into programming. YCombinator drop outs. Years of experience in managed and web languages, but who have no idea how to setup a build system nor work in native code.
I think I met more brogrammers working for Amazon in Seattle and hanging out with Microsofties, than in the Bay Area.
I almost feel like "real geeks" are a rare breed these days. It's so rare nowadays to meet a hacker that likes to hack, as opposed to a coder who's really in it so he can afford to rage at the club every chance he gets.
I almost linked to that, but wanted to share the love with the other bro's sites out there too. That vid is in the top of the search results I linked, it's all good.

Shame the person doing the AMA doesn't express himself better, he loses a bit of credibility.
I can't tell if his answers are given out of anger against Zynga or if they are a reflection of reality.
I agree. Seems like he has a lot of hate built up inside him:
"Google and Apple teams are total cunts. Fuck em, and their hipster bullshit."
Followed by:
"I like Google as a whole, but they hire too many wanna-be-devs. And their SC2 team can suck a big herpes-infested cock. FUCK THEM."
Hard to take this AMA seriously.
I do hope you didn't miss this gem :)

I have a new favourite word
If you're new to the term, observe: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=brogrammer
I believe you mean this, bro: http://youtu.be/Qi_AAqi0RZM
The best 15 minutes you'll ever spend on your career, almost as important as your dubstep collection.

Eh, hes just talking like every other former marine: honesty riddled with swears.
He seemed, to me, to be talking about the Google/Apple folks in some gaming league, not the general employees.
Well, the good news is that even if you're a big company, the Apple App approval process is just as annoying for you as for everyone else.
The bad news? That's where the herpes comes into the picture...
