Brogrammer
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
A pejorative label for a programmer associated with hyper-masculine, frat-like startup culture, often emphasizing bravado, exclusionary behavior, and status performance over craft. The term is used critically to describe a social dynamic, not a technical role.
In plain English: A dismissive term for a macho, exclusionary style of tech-worker culture.
Example: "The team stopped feeling welcoming once the brogrammer energy took over every meeting."
