Most of us rubyists aren't actually "hipster broprogrammers", but hard-working devs who like to get things done -- just like everyone else. It's unfortunate that the Ruby world is being painted with that kind of brush, when it's really down to just a few bad apples.

It's not the bad apples, it's the impression others get due to relativity.

To some guy slamming out Java in a bank where you have to wear a suit and tie or PHP in some chop shop where version control is on the distant TO-DO list, Ruby programmers do look like brogrammers with their fancy tools and fancy computers.
