One those vices was dressing well. Who would have thought it.
- KirkWylie 17y agoFWIW, I'd say I dress well, just casually.
- HeyLaughingBoy 17y agoThis is an excellent point that I'm amazed no one has made. It's entirely possible to dress very well but without wearing a suit/blazer/wool pants, etc. There are tasteful, well tailored, yet casual clothes all over the place. A slob in a suit is still a slob.
- martinp 17y agoVery true. I'm not even sure I would trust a coder in a suit and tie..
- nibrahim 17y agoIt's really just a tool like your editor. I personally dress for expedience. There are some forums where i have to go to where power dressing really does have a positive outcome. There are some places (eg. code sprints) where a T-shirt and an old pair of jeans works better.
- jff 17y agoThat's rather judgmental of you... I thought the whole point being driven by every crunchy, sandals-wearing startupmeister here was that clothes don't matter. How bigoted to immediately dismiss someone for dressing differently.
