    I mean it’s literally right there:

    but some programmers self-describe themselves as a brogrammer positively as a word for “sociable or outgoing programmer”, and it also tends to represent a subculture within the greater tech industry.

    So that’s three different meanings for the same word. Again, it sounds to me like it’s possible for words to have more than one meaning or for word meanings to change. But that’s just my liberal woke viewpoint obviously.

      So you’re leaning harder into the part I took most issue with? The deciders here are not programmers. Also, that behavior is a coping mechanism for not wanting to believe they are misogynistic douches.

      And uh…what the fuck are you talking about with bringing in liberal woke viewpoint as a thing in this conversation? I sincerely hope you’re just a Russian troll because otherwise you’re incomprehensible.
