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.

The act of writing computer code while visibly adhering to brogrammer norms.

adj. re-TART-ed
The politically correct form of the word retarded.
While retarded came to take on a street meaning akin to "idiotic" or "stupid" the word still had medical meaning used for describing people with clinical mental retardation. Thus, it became quickly politically incorrect to use the word retarded, even though a richly connoted street definition had developed. Hence it became necessary to use a new word which explicitly references the street meaning and not the medical one.
