#52I 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…

Depends on the age. MongoDB may not have been such a common name back when the tshirt came out. I have a couple of Palantir t-shirts (american apparel, 100% cotton I think) that have held up over a decade and are really comfortable. One of them says, "Save the shire" and Palantir. I don't think people would have known that it's a tech tshirt back then.

Follow on, my biggest frustration with these super thin, clingy shirts is how _everyone_ is showing their nipples through them now.
Well—T-shirts did start out as underwear.

I love the "this guy" piece... Meanwhile he's been the most public person in academia talking about databases over at least the last 5 years, maybe the last 10. He's not only done an awesome job of talking about foundational pieces of databases, but also examining new databases that have come up over the last 10 years or so. He's course is quite open as well, so it's not just the student base that gets to take advant…

The author calls a hoodie a shirt. I’m not sure I trust their opinion on the fit and comfort of database-branded apparel.

#59For some reason the Google Fiber T-shirt that Google gave out in Atlanta is almost indestructible. I've worn mine routinely for years, and still see other people wearing them sometimes. Not sure exactly what the secret was, but boy would I love to know!
I've gotten several Google Fiber t-shirts from a local thrift store, and I can confirm - great shirts! I think they are NextLevel.
NextLevel as a superlative, or https://www.nextlevelapparel.com/?
