It seems like a borderline example.  I feel that the &quot;brogrammer&quot; stereotype was invented up mainly because the nerd stereotype was too sympathetic.  I&#x27;m genuinely curious if there are examples of the kind of stereotypes <i>in the article</i> being promoted right now by tech companies.<p>As an aside, these sorts of critiques of mainstream&#x2F;White culture are somewhat contradictory in that they criticize any specific cultural identity as being exclusive and insular, and yet whenever this is lacking, they point to how boring mainstream&#x2F;White culture is.  Even lack of crime can be turned into evidence of boringness.  For example, for every article on the negative effect of nerd culture on diversity, there is an article complaining about the decline of nerd culture and the rise of corporatism.  The latter tend to be highly revisionist and pretend that the tech industry was founded by LSD taking hippies who coded inside isolation tanks.  But the contradiction is still stark.
