What? I interviewed at my current location wearing a cargo short and a tshirt. It’s a trillion dollar company and we’re not failing any time soon.
Coding interviews aside, no dress requirement is one of the biggest plus and allow people to focus on the thing that matters. I have no idea where you come from that software engineering is helped by dressing up pressed shirts.
- eitland 7y agoI strongly suspect sarcasm.
- artsyca 7y agoBro I use dress as a way to read people one way or another how you dress is how you play
- artsyca 7y agoWhat else have you been doing the same way since the fourth grade?
- artsyca 7y agoBro the very fact that you're defending your right to wear your crusty cargo pants everywhere (to an interview for shame! Did you sleep in them the night before to shave off a few extra minutes?) shows that dress matters and it's very personal I never said otherwise This whole industry in its infantile attempts to over optimize for comfort and everyone's right to wear their favorite rags to the office while enabling a command and control structure peopled by petty bureacrats has created the very worst of socialist factory conditions and if you can't see that you don't deserve to call yourself a systems professional
- artsyca 7y agoLook I realize you're being facetious but let's take this reasoning to its natural conclusion What's even more efficient and lets us focus even more on the task at hand? Company issue overalls and living in a company dorm Your cargo pants paradise is two steps away from soviet era factory conditions which were a marvel of efficiency I hope the irony isn't over your head Heck does your trillion dollar corporation feed you like a good herd and monitor your calorie intake with sensors in the toilets, comrade?
- artsyca 7y agoAnd the worst part is nobody in this goddamn industry recognizes me as one of their own whereas I fathered every single one you you brats since the eighties!
