   At Santa Monica (Calif.)-based Gravity, engineering director Jim Plush is referred to as the “resident brogrammer” and has affixed his computer monitor to a treadmill so he can exercise two to three hours a day while programming.

   It started with the 1984 film Revenge of the Nerds. Then came geek chic. Now, "brogrammers" — computer programmers with frat house sensibilities — are hitting the scene.

   Experts have pointed to Silicon Valley's "brogrammer" culture and a lack of female role models as contributing to the problem — but women are managing to make huge contributions to the field anyway.
