Somewhat ironically, refusing to acknowledge or honor conventional status games is itself a status increasing play among hackers, which invalidates the spirit of the advice if not the advice itself! This is also probably terrible advice for a different milieu.
- tomgp 5y agoyeah, you assert your status by being able to ignore cultural/office norms.
- Daishiman 5y agoThat generally will make you look like an asshole and can be a substantial career stopper.
- Daishiman 5y agoAs you get older, you find that the active refusal of status games as a countercultural ploy just gets tired and makes you seen a someone hard to deal with. Learn to dress well and talk well to play the game, then be able to revert to your own self with no shame.
