That doesn't sound right in this context:
> Where did we make that left turn into experienced, table flipping talent leaving the industry and the culture of brogramming scaring new talent away?
That sounds like "table flipping" is a good thing, like "turning the tables" on someone, but I'm honestly a bit puzzled.

Maybe they mean, "experienced, completely fed-up talent leaving the industry"

Interesting that the etymology of flipping tables meme apparently comes from East Asia. I'd have thought of the "other" famous table flipping incident:

Huh. I get why brogramming is bad in context but that emoticon is just used to express frustration with computers most of the time, no?
I don't understand why she chose that particular cultural marker but it doesn't change her point.
"Flipping Table emoticon (written as: (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻) is a text-based emoticon depicting a person flipping a table out of rage. Primarily used by East Asian internet users to express rage, the emoticon became popular among Western internet users following its introduction through internationally popular online games."
