#3I can't help but think that the suit isn't far behind.

#4Software written while wearing a tie has bugs.
That's my story and I am sticking to it.
We needn't focus on the small inconvenience that software written while not wearing a tie also has bugs. Obviously, even the threat of having to wear a tie causes software bugs. I shudder to think what the threat of having to wear a suit AND tie could do to the quality of software we produce.

#6Just when I was getting comfortable... Never thought I'd say it, but I think I agree with Mark.

#7I grew up in Houston, TX which has always been an ultra-conservative city, full suit and tie in the middle of a Texas summer.
I've never been one for clothing fads which is why I stick to button downs, sport coats, jeans, and nice leather shoes. During a recession it's more cost efficient: my leather shoes polish up a lot nicer than tennis shoes and last much longer. I have button-downs from 2001 that still look great. I also save a lot of time by receiving a lot better customer service when I'm eating out, shopping, or running errands. People respect a well dressed man, there's nothing superficial about it.
I'm not saying you can't wear a shirt when you're coding, but the moment you're representing your company and it's people — you should look (and therefore feel) very proud. Toss on a sport coat over the designer tee, it won't kill you to look nice. And not to mention, when you congregate a bunch of designer-tshirt-wearing coders in a room, are you really expressing individuality anymore? :)

#8Hahah, I bet those ties are around 6-10 years old!
I should know, I went to his highschool (Exeter) which requires ties as its dress code. Its not like you wear ties at Harvard, is it?

Those are cool - how long before this one (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20275154 ) ends up on Schneier's Friday blog?
