I feel like I'm missing something here. Why would someone (of any gender) feel like they're missing out due to an inability to fit a stereotype melding douchebag frat boy with programmer?
It's sad to me, because there are so many much more worthy things for us to aspire towards, as software developers, than some stereotype based around degenerate behavior.
I actually wonder if the brogrammer faces more discrimination than the female programmer. Who would want to hire a loud drunk frat boy to program for their Fortune 500 company?
See, this is the thing. Startups are now using "brogramming" as a recruiting buzzword (including one I interviewed with--though I dropped out partway through the process because I accepted an offer elsewhere).
I searched for brogrammer with Indeed, simplyhired, startuply and craigslist and haven't found a single job opening. The "brogrammer" buzzword does not seem to be a trend.
