My favorite t-shirt has the Azure logo in the style of the Amazon logo on the front, and the AWS logo in the style of the Azure logo on the back. https://github.com/jogerj/misbrands/blob/master/azure.svg https://github.com/jogerj/misbrands/blob/master/aws.svg
This repo, and the other forks of its original which have even more "misbrands", are going to have me ordering some custom sticker sheets here shortly, thanks for sharing!
The AWS/Azure and Java/JavaScript ones are good, but the Vim/VS Code one is gold.
> don't know how you could see "mongoDB" and not think it is tech I disagree with the author in that I would be comfortable wearing a mongodb shirt in public. Mongoloid is a slur, and at least in Norway it's often shortened to "mongo".
Is that a racial slur (i.e., Asian), or about Down syndrome? The latter was used in the UK many years ago, I've not heard it for 25 years (?), so "mongo" wouldn't raise an eyebrow here now.
It's kinda both. Mongoloid here used to refer to people with Downs, by comparing them to the (non existent) Asian race of Mongoloids due to both often having eyes with epicanthic fold. Of course I didn't know this when using it as a kid back in the days, and I've luckily not heard it used for ages, but I think all of my peers would remember it if used on a t-shirt.
To be fair, it's not really a hoodie either as I feel that implies it's a sweater or has the thickness of one. It really is just a long sleeve shirt with a hood attached.
What is the distinction in your mind?
The distinction being a hoddie is a sweatshirt with a hood. As opposed to a long sleeve shirt with a hood. Sweatshirts are thicker. Calling it a hoodie would be like calling a long sleeve shirt a swetashirt because they have the same silhouette.
I disagree with nearly this entire post, which is fun. I find that the poly blend shirts that the author loves (especially like the MongoDB shirt) are clingy and sweaty. Softness is low on my list of shirt priorities - comfort and fit are high. I don't know how you could see "mongoDB" and not think it is tech, but maybe I'm too mired in tech to have an outsider's perspective. Also, that dark heathered grey color is e…
> I don't know how you could see "mongoDB" and not think it is tech Idk but mongo-anything has clearly insulting connotations hasn't it? I'm not a fan of cancelling language at all but still find it very surprising a product with that name could advance that far in enterprise computing. I guess I had hoped the article would explain the joke I was missing here. Update: ads on a CMU site?
According to the founders "mongo" came from "humongous" not "mongoloid". Additionally, "Mongo" has never had insulting conotations in America, as far as I know. Also, if you weren't aware, Mongo is an ethnicity and a language, should we force them to change the name?
Indeed. Anyone who lives near a beach in a warm climate is likely familiar with these long sleeve hooded “tees”.
As someone who lives near a beach in a warm climate... I've never seen anyone wear one of these nor have I seen them for sale in stores. I can't imagine when I'd wear one either - if I want protection from the sun I'll wear a hat or sunscreen - not a hood.
Almost every serious fisherman that I know or watch on YouTube wears long sleeve SPF shirts with hoods.
