- rezistik 12y agoDefinitely something to keep in mind. When I dress up at programming events, by dress up I mean a button up and nice jeans I stick out. I have people assume I'm non technical. My real point is that she was treated like a programmer when she dressed in a t shirt and jeans. It wasn't about her sex, it was about her clothing. I'm all for abolishing the t shirt jeans combo personally, I like wearing adult clothing. But our industry is founded on t shirts, flip flops and ill fitting jeans. If you look substantially out of place, you'll be treated as out of place. I delight in proving that I fit in despite my appearance. But that's a me thing. I don't expect everyone to act or feel that way.
