If I were to meet a customer, I'd probably skip the t-shirt and shorts that day, no dress code required. But that depends on the customer, of course - with some customers, wearing a tie and suit as a developer may raise eyebrows.
- NKCSS 10y agoI get what you say, but doesn't the fact that you'd wear something different, were you to meet customers, indicate that it might not be the best work attire? While I agree a suit should not be required, I'd say if you'd have to change your cloths to meet a client, it's probably not suited for work.
- geoka9 10y ago> I'd say if you'd have to change your cloths to meet a client, it's probably not suited for work. Why? With clients you wear more formal clothes for PR purposes. It shouldn't be necessary on most dev teams (in my experience).
- iSnow 10y agoI'd disagree. When I am slumming it at home, I wear the most comfortable pair of trousers I have. If I'd receive a call to have a beer with pals, I'd still change. I think the same applies in the given example: the in-group knows the guy in the shorts and T-shirt is a nice dude who helps others and is super-professional about quality. The customer, as an outsider, just sees someone who's underdressed.
