Thing is, I don't mind wearing a suit at all, and in fact prefer it in certain situations. A good suit can be just as comfortable as a t-shirt and jeans or whatever other bullshit.
I don't have a problem with jeans and sneakers, but there's that expression "never trust a programmer in a suit", and I do have a problem with that.
- overgard 15y agoAgreed, I get annoyed when other programmers look at me askew for choosing to dress better than them. A lot of times it feels like there is a hacker dress code, it's just inverted.
- gruseom 15y agoPerhaps they're reacting to your belief that you're dressing "better" than them.
- rbarooah 15y agoI don't know why you got downvoted for this. I upvoted you. I think you've hit the nail on the head. I'd like to hear someone explain why a suit (or whatever dress code) is better than what someone else chooses to wear. It's obviously more traditional. Is there anything more to it than that?
- overgard 15y agoWell, by "better" I mean that what I wear is usually intentional and has some thought put into it; whereas a lot of hackers will actually make a point of declaring that they put no effort at all into what they chose to wear. And that's fine! If you don't care then you don't care. There's nothing wrong with that. I just see it as weird that people use that notion of "not caring" as a badge of honor. My question to those people would be, why do you think it's weird that I do actually care?
- saryant 15y agoThank you. Being asked what the special occasion is every time I wear a dress shirt gets old fast.
