Hipsters ≠ popped collars. Not to take away from your point too much, everything you've said seems reasonable, but popped collars are indicative of frat boy douche bags. They don't grow ironic moustaches... they pretty much aren't supposed to understand irony. Think the winkelvoss twins in the facebook movie.

Yes I had a different perspective going in to this I thought it was going to be more like what this discussion was about: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3168038

The discussion doesn't have as much about it but basically a YC company posted to jobs about looking to brogrammers and getting crunk/partying and those were the type of people they were looking for.

I third this comment. These 'brogrammers' and popped collar programmers should stop feeling good about loving their programming tools and showing it too us by making well designed blogs and sharing their love for these unproven technologies.

Take off those sunglasses, tidy up your collars and grow back your unix beards. You're a programmer, that's nothing to feel proud about!

I second the thought. Popped collar == brogrammer as far as I am concerned.

wtf is a brogrammer? post-frat douchebag?

Yes. Or, put less insultingly, a young non autistic programmer with a social life.

Less insulting to whom, exactly?
