Am I the only one who freaks out when I see a dev dressed in a suit!!

i see them a lot, especially when recruiting juniors.. but yeh, guy cam in to work for 4 weeks straith in suite .. gave up, came in ripped jeans and t-shirt in week 5

I do. I sometimes don't even wear pants.

i love to dress up once in a while, not because i think a dev has to look like this or because i'm a walking meme factory with adhd and an urge to draw attention, but because i just like to feel classy and somewhat professional from time to time...

...or maybe i just try to overcompensate my inability to $computertem so i have to keep everybody busy staring at me while i pretend to do $magic

Wearing a shirt and tie from time to time let's me wear my new tie and socks from Sprezza Box. Sometimes I even wear pants.

Never seen one :-D and most probably would freak out

I'm forced to daily, freaking dress code apply to all employees Even us locked in the back room that no Customer will ever see.

I always wear buttoned shirts and sometimes a suit or blazer.. just personal preference :-) not trying to act like something, I just like the feeling.. I'm not much of a t-shirt guy.

@Raich That is why i'd never wear a suit or a tie to an interview, Its an easy way to let bad employers filter themselves out early in the process.

Several years ago my first professional position as "Junior Programmer" was at a bank in the bond trading department. All the devs were required to wear suits daily to blend in with the rest of the culture. After six months I got my first job as a non-junior dev and was able to hang up my suit jacket and tie.

Aside from that wearing a tie every other blue moon doesn't bother me a bit.

Dress code at work requires me to wear a shirt and decent looking jeans (aka, not shredded etc). I deal with clients at times tho so fair enuff. Suit is where I draw the line tho, fuck that.

Baskets, jean, t-shirt and leather jacket.

T-shirt or button down short sleeve, shorts, and flip-flops, until it cools down, then flannel shirt, jeans, and chukkas or hikers.

All people are allowed to dress the way they want to. Period
