I love where you are going with the logo, but understand your frustration. Just some ideas that hopefully will get you closer to where you want to be.
My first thought was that I really like the first & second "coded" font. It is clearly a system/courier-style font, yet it has slightly casual features and looks great large.
The handwriting font and the other fonts used just seemed out of place.
My idea is to try using one font (the first 'coded' font) for the whole thing and drop the last bracket. It would look something like this:
something { coded
(of course, it looks horrible in the font and spacing of this text box I'm typing in).
I played around with the size and spacing and liked how it looked when you made the bracket a bit larger than the rest of the text. You could even hand-draw the bracket, since you want something hand drawn.
The 'code' font communicates the technical side and the simple design and use of the large, single bracket communicates the stylish side.
My $0.02... good luck! Hope this helps.

Noah, thanks for the in-depth advice. I have now uploaded a revision with only the monospace font. the programmer in me couldn't stomach the missing closing bracket ;D
