"look like a programmer". A while back I bought this really nice pin-stripe suit. I really liked it, I looked really sharp in it and it was really comfortable. One time I wore it while walking a mile in a driving rainstorm, but it dried and looked good as new after I spent an hour inside a fast food joint. So I started wearing it to job interviews. There is no doubt in my mind, that my interviewers did not believe I could possibly be a coder. Computer programmers don't wear suits, you see. Eventually I gave it to the poor. I had the idea it would help someone else get a job, doing something other than coding.
