> I can't let any types or anything get in the way of my productivity

Okay, sure.

> ...as I crush some mad code, braugh

What? I've never run into this. How does this have anything to do with opinions on types again? It sounds like you have an axe to grind.

This is pretty close to what you'll see in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article on brogrammer [1]. Klout posted an advertisement at the Stanford career fair saying "Want to bro down and crush some code? Klout is hiring."

Hahaha, omg.

> The company later described it as a joke and as an unfortunate misstep.

"It's just a joke, bro"

lol, I'd say it is definitely an overgeneralization, but I've seen the culture they are referring to and it is very real and very irritating to deal with the messes they create. Don't read too much into it.
