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 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…
How is Palantir supposed to save the shire? By trampling the rights of the Hobbits in addition to destroying their environment?
The Palantir show a narrow view of events and lead to their users to ruin. It’s like they read the cautionary tale as an instruction manual.
They chose an accurate name for what their product does, but I can’t understand how a person with that clarity of thought would decide to actually make one.
It's been 20+ years but I loved this shirt for it's SQL agnostic-ity: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/lol-code-geek-select-from-user... (This shows the shirt you could buy once-upon-a-time from thinkgeek, which appears to be no more...) I believe they used beefy-t brand shirts, which was like the nicest thing you could get for t-shirts at the time. (Personal opinion, don't @ me.)

For extra evil Discus should really pop up an ad blocker blocker.
The 50/50 shirts are great. I've got a stripe shirt that first turned me on to them and I went online and bought a bunch of blank ones in different colors. My current company found a similar shirt from bella+canvas that is also great. It and the stripe shirt are the only vendor shirts in my regular rotation.
My current company has been using bella+canvas of late, and I wear them all_the_time, they are so comfortable that I worry about their durability.
I'm also super, super big into the collars not stretching out. I can't stand that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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…
I don't like MongoDB as a technology, but I have that T-Shirt and its super comfortable.
