Brogrammers before hoegrammers 

The unwritten law that your male programming friends should always come before your female programming acquaintences. Most frequently used when a fellow brogrammer is bending over backwards to accommodate a hot hoegrammer's needs, while spurning his brogrammers.

Jack: ...Can I help?

brogrammer 

Pejorative adjective for computer programmers or others with a technical skill-set that adhere to a "bro" or "cool" culture, often obnoxiously so.

This phenomenon arose circa 2010 when the proliferation of popular tech-themed movies such as "21", "The Social Network", and "Iron Man" and tech-celebrities such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg glamorized technical skills. As such those who often grew up as socially repressed outcasts or "nerds" due to their academic or technical aptitude and social ineptitude now found themselves in socially desirable class of society. This incited a once repressed demographic to become much more socially active despite social cluelessness, resulting in an obnoxious culture that tends to mimic stereotypical "jock", "bro", or "cool" culture in combination with the egotism, insensitivity, and terrible humor of "nerd" culture.

brogrammer 

A semi-mythical creature that is a combination of a programmer and a fratboy. A brogrammer sips protein shakes and lift weights between coding sessions.

Brogrammers rarely exist in real life and like much satire it is easily misunderstood by those who are not in on the joke.
