"The Brogrammers are desperately trying to prove to themselves that, while they may be programmers, they're not geeks."

Nope, we're trying to show people that being geek, doesn't mean being socially awkward.



If you need four shots of Jaeger to start a conversation, that's the definition of socially awkward.


>we're

So you're classifying yourself as a Brogrammer, or you're saying that people going to parties aren't Brogrammers--they're just socially aware geeks?

Geeks are awkward b/c by definition we are obsessive, and our passions tend towards topics that non-geeks don't understand.

It can be tough for some people, but once you're aware that you can't speek geek to a non-geek, the social awkwardness goes away (or at least fades a little).


Met any members of CAMRA have we :-) CAMRA is the Campaign for Real ale aka beer geeks
