Well, at least they stopped insulting our intelligence by pretending that Linux was a supported platform but really only offering packages that were so outdated as to not install on any distribution newer than 2-3 years old even with extensive hacking. Like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/help/amd.html

So just hit it again until it leads to something interesting.
Interesting. I wasn't referring specifically to Facebook, btw, and I've never seen Facebook mention "brogrammers" in their job postings.

Do they self-identify as "brogrammers?" If so, did they do so before joining Facebook or only after the fact?

The self-described bro in the linked article appears to only "program" in PHP according to his own website, so I think my assumption that he's just a monkey is fair.

The only mention of programming on that site is PHP. How surprising!
It's a very useful indicator that the company is looking to hire barely-sentient PHP monkeys rather than actual programmers to solve interesting problems.
