The pejorative usage of "brogrammer" is more like "a programmer who displays all the worst characteristics normally associated with high school jocks" -- things like arrogance, misogyny, bullying, and unwarranted…
I looked up "brogrammer." "A popular, cool, or otherwise normal person who has become intrigued by the fun of programming. Usually unliked by the nerdy programmers for getting all of the friends and the girls, while…
This is actually something I think will go away once we manage to overcome sexism in society. There is really no reason for it at all. My subjective impression of you and your "anti-sexism" is that you are an…
"I think for the sake of civilization, we should try to involve women as much as we can and aim for the 50-50." I think for the sake of civilization, we should not try to aim for a 50/50 ratio. Your utopia is another…
