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

Did you have that made or is there somewhere to buy it?

This is the exact kind of dumb shirt I’m looking for

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.)

I think my wife finally tossed all my old thinkgeek shirts. I had a huge collection from my college years including "There are only 10 types of people in this world...", "man love" and "there's not place like 127.0.0.1". Who has filled this void? I know xkcd had/has some geeky shirts and they shut down too.

Cotton Bureau has some, although they are kind of pricy.

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

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?

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…

> 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".

Interesting, in the States, that term is no longer used very much and was never shortened AFAIK.

I strongly disagree with the claim that it's a hoodie simply because it has a hood. Many hooded garments are not hoodies. To be a hoodie, it must be made out of thicker sweatshirt material.

A long-sleeve T-shirt with a hood is just a long-sleeve T-shirt with a hood.

Also worth noting that the only review on the website is very accurate despite being a 1-star review: "The quality of material is great. Neck is too low. Too lenghty". These are exactly the reasons why I like this shirt. Great material, neck is not too tight, probably an inch longer than many other fitted t-shirts, so your underwear isn't showing all the time.

Very good to know, now I won't waste $15. ;-) This whole comment thread is teaching me that apparently there isn't /any/ objective truth when it comes to t shirt comfort. Before today I figured that was an objective fact that the cheap Hanes ones were unloved -- neck always stretched out, too short and stout. I'm a fan of LA apparel (aka american apparel) as well as some bella+canvas ones. That stretched out neck jus…

That's true of many things and has been for a long time. "De gustibus non disputandum est," as the Romans said. "It's useless to argue about taste."

I had CafePress make it for me.

I originally tried SpreadShirt, but they rejected the design due to copyright.

Indeed. Anyone who lives near a beach in a warm climate is likely familiar with these long sleeve hooded “tees”.

Back in grad school he got put on probation a second time after hiring a magician off craigslist for admitted students day. The magician showed up drunk and lost his dove in the building.

Wow I like Andy even more now

Here's his first trip to probation: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/slides/graffiti-dc401-oct12.pd...
