Hey! Can you not tell when someone is on your side? I said grey collared shirts and ironed trousers for everyone. Grey all things. Good citizens must be allowed

  I'm telling you I want colors, and more of them, but there's a difference between living in a world that children made and being a true adult -- most of us in this industry are crashing and burning in our 30's and 40's and it's not pretty I'm on your side too orange8, but we went to different universities and had different childhood experiences and now our shared vision is getting cloudy with all this corporate hoopla imposed on us by the man

    I am sorry you've had bad experiences within the industry and maybe even childhood. Stay strong and seek those around you for help, even if its just a chat.

      I've had terrible experiences in this industry too -- look at TechLead, his wife left him! but we're being forged into something stronger than steel -- that's why I wear a silk tie, not because I'm trying to be some kind of corporate drone.. as Simon Sinek says, 'Start with why' -- nothing matters per se, but for the meaning behind it

      And that's another reason I wear a danged tie, so people can recognize that I'm a little different from the hoi polloi eager to please their managers with feature after feature and ticket after ticket -- believe it or not I'm an extreme programmer in the strictest sense, perhaps not a 10x but definitely a 1% mind body and spirit is geared towards computer science believe me, another reason I wear silk, as a nod to the engineers who came before me and worked on the enigma or the Apollo space mission
