Dressing well, shaving, etc. takes lots and lots of time. Best programmers spend all their time programming or thinking/dreaming about programming ;)

You make it sound like grooming can't be hacked...

  Laser removal of beard follicles doesn't seem to work that well. And in my personal experience "no-iron" shirts really don't work that well. And while the article didn't exactly show the who's who of male models, at least it was remarkably free of the atrocious cheap short-sleeved/khaki cubicle combo. (If only the Nehru jacket would make its comeback in the western world. I'd finally be able to dress like a Bond villain and get rid of annoying collars in one go.)

You dress better -> You feel better -> You work better.

  Unless dressing better has no bearing on your level of self-comfort.* * - I am not one of these people. I work best recently bathed and shaved, in fresh clothes and with a clean workspace. Anything less drives me absolutely bonkers.

  But "better" varies from person to person. If I dress comfortably I feel better and work better. For me comfortably != Suit & tie.

    Well dressed does not imply Suit & tie (nor does suit and tie necessarily imply well dressed). I like to think of my self as well dressed and only very occasionally wear a tie (mainly funerals, weddings, and events where the dress code requires it). That being said I will on occasion throw on a three piece suit & tie for no good reason just to mix things up a bit :)

Shaving takes time, but not shaving for a week itches. I'll take the shaving.

>Dressing well, shaving, etc. takes lots and lots of time. As a male? Not really. If you can put together a small, simple wardrobe of well-fitting clothes that go well with each other, you'll already be ahead of 90% of other guys, with no on-going time costs other than the normal bathing and shaving duties. Well-fitting is the important part. Most guys don't wear clothes appropriate for their body type, at least here in the states.
