Re: Suit'n'Tie Guy
When I see a coder wearing shirt and tie, all I think is that he's another modestly skilled type who couldn't cut it in the arena with the talented coders.
When I have to deal with someone in a suit and tie, I find myself instinctively distrusting them on sight.
I see a tie, I assume 'sales rep'.
And you're all wrong. There must be two dozen posts here that claim only casually-dressed techs are any good, you can't trust people in suits, pin-stripes are evil, and so on.
Can't you see that this is exactly the same as the mindset displayed by the HP management, the mindset that is being ridiculed here?
