Totally different angle, gender, and underling life experience here, but I also despise the rise of the brogrammer. I can easily be accused of jumping on the very same programming bandwagon, but (if so) I don't get along with my fellow passengers.<p>The lionization of programming as the only intellectual pursuit requiring grit, insight, or technical ability, combined with an complete ignorance of anything outside their tiny subset of experience, makes for a uniquely toxic and repellant combination (and don't even get me started on the straight-up fellatio of LEAN/AGILE methodologies). Throw in the money and entitlement and you've got a perfect storm of jackassery.
