You know what the first thing I pick up on is? Everyone is dressed nice. I don't know if that's just for the camera, but I see suits and vests all around. They look classy in a classy office. I wonder how the office would look if notch was wearing cut off shorts and a wife beater.
- petercooper 14y agoI don't know if that's just for the camera, That picture is about as posed as posed gets but in my (limited) experience, people in the tech industry do tend to dress 'up' somewhat more than in the US. But, you know, if notch were in a smoking jacket or a Hefner-style robe, I think it would still work ;-)
- tomjen3 14y agoCounterpoint. A few weeks ago one of my coworkers showed up in the kind of shoes that some people use on the beach (http://www.billig-sport.dk/public/produkt/stor/2699.jpg http://www.billig-sport.dk/public/produkt/stor/2699.jpg) with one of them only held together with duct tape. During the summer several people showed up with no shoes at all.
- lrm242 14y agoThey don't dress that way all the time. From what I've gathered they have "Formal Fridays". At first when I saw Notch mention this on Twitter I was a bit confused, but now I see it goes nicely with the theme of their office.

- jonknee 14y agoOur office did Suit Mondays last year. It was fun.
- untog 14y agoI like the idea of it, especially for companies that have clients/customers outside of tech. We're all comfortable in hoodies all day, but when you all have to turn up to meet at a government office you'll suddenly find that the suit you haven't tried on in over a year doesn't fit right, or has a stain you'd forgotten about. "Practising being formal" makes sense, I think.
- calinet6 14y agoI think dressing nicely is highly underrated. It makes you feel different. You think about yourself differently, and everyone else does too. It's kinda fun. Everyone should try it sometime if they haven't, even if it's just wearing a collared shirt instead of a T-shirt. Try it out and see how you feel.
- MartinCron 14y agoI do the same thing (though I call it "Fancy Friday") and I strongly suggest that you try it if you're at all curious.
