What Does Brogramming Mean?
Brogramming is an internet slang term used to refer to computer code produced by “bros” - slang for male friends, particularly fraternity brothers - who are programmers. Apparently, this internet meme kicked off in summer 2011 with some threads on Quora.com, a question-and-answer website. Brogramming is also linked to Facebook, where the developers are said to have developed a brogramming culture.
