   What is the Silicon Valley brogrammer subculture? Is it the same as the Silicon Valley subculture? What defines both? Are LLMs really the product of brogrammers?

      Brogrammers are in it for the love of money. Programmers are in it for the love of programming.

         normal guy that wants to provide for his family: bro

         autistic guy that rejects your PRs because you used tabs instead of spaces: pro

            I worked for twitter and there was a guy like this. I made a big stink that "yo, everything this guy says just needs to be in a linter" and they actually implemented it.

            If you don’t have style rules baked into the PR process, you should. Tabs vs. spaces is a team decision and needs to be matched by everyone to reduce code churn. It’s correct to reject a PR if it violates the team style guide (although it should be automated and have tooling locally to enforce it as well.)

               the only thing that matters is making money fast. everything else DOES NOT MATTER, and ESPECIALLY not the invisible characters between the words.

            On the contrary, the pro is likely to prefer tabs—you can adjust the display-width for better ergonomics.
