I know this is satire but I've worked with these people in the past. The less reminders of them the better.

I've run into a few protein powder muscle-head programmers over the years but not too many. Maybe it's more common on the west coast.

So basically do everything you would do at a gym if you are a douchebro powerlifter looking to be alpha.
Oddly enough it didn't talk about sexually harassing any attractive female interns or the receptionist. Maybe that's just territory reserved for the guys in sales?

I'm happy to say I have never encountered an actual brogrammer. I want to keep believing that they are completely fictional.

All the literal powerlifters (i.e. train to have the best total across squat, bench press, and deadlift) I've met have been really nice people.

I work with a bunch of devs and sys admins and in the last week or so eggs have become A Thing. People making scrambled eggs in the microwave, tupperwares packed with perfectly tetris'ed hardboiled eggs, even an electric egg steamer magically appeared last week.
