It's somewhat ironic then that the brogrammer term started a Facebook (though I believe, and hope, it was in jest)

I don't know whether he invented the term, but Nick Schrock (schrockn) started the popular "Brogrammer" page on Facebook[1] and is a prominent engineer there[2].

A thread on Quora[1] with comments from Nick suggests the term didn't originate with him. It's clear he is responsible for popularizing the term.
