On Wednesday at the Twilio Conference, programmer Rob Spectre did a 15-minute presentation on how to learn brogramming.
For the uninitiated, brogramming is programming...done by bros. Bros, as in frat brothers. As in guys who drink beer, listen to Jack Johnson and Dave Matthews, and spend six hours a day at the gym.
Spectre did the entire presentation in character as his alter ego Chad, the ultimate brogrammer.
