Am I the only one who harbors a secret (and shameful?) yearning to wear a nice snazzy suit to work every day, instead of jeans and a t-shirt?
I'm a physicist rather than a programmer per se, but I'm sure there must be others like me out there somewhere.
- jamesbritt 19y agoI used to wear a suit to work. Gets tiresome after a while. Now I dress how a like. Not a slob, though I am a member of the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Rubyists. All in all, I like being comfy, and suits fail me on that.
- tomjen 19y agoThe good thing about suits is that they match. And they might not be that bad if you can get the shirt on size to large: That way the tie still look good, but it wont strangle you.
- geebee 19y agoYeah, I'm totally with you here. Not sure there was much to recommend about the world protrayed in Gattaca, but they sure did look good in those suits. All my lawyer friends hate it, though. I think it comes down to associations. I never wear a suit to work, so when I "suit up", it's typically because I'm going to a wedding or other formal party where I'll drink free booze, dance a bit, and listen to a cool band - usually surrounded by very attractive women who are also dressed up. If I associated suits with showing up at work every morning in a stuffy work environment, I'd probably hate them too.
