Have you ever tried to run or climb or do anything physical in a suit?
- oconnore 14y agoHave you ever tried to run in jeans? It sucks. Generally I do it in athletic shorts, but feel free to do what works for you. Also, by similarly irrelevant logic, flip flops should be a developer faux pas. They aren't.
- mseebach 14y agoI work in software. The occasions on which I have to run or climb in my work clothes are rare. That said, those activities make you sweat. Sweaty people smell. While wearing a suit to work doesn't affect your ability to work professionally, smelling bloody well does.
- awj 14y agoDepending on the suit, it's actually easier than jeans. Also, what kind of software development job requires any amount of running or climbing.
- MengYuanLong 14y agoI don't often wear a coat but I do often wear dress pants, collared shirts and dress shoes. I also often hop/climb fences while wearing them, so... yes.
