When I got into computer science jobs I was super happy not to have to wear a suit and tie, or some corporate uniform. We could wear jeans and a t-shirt, every day!
Twenty years later, I’ve come to realize that tech jobs have a uniform. It’s called jeans and a t-shirt. Maybe a hoodie when it is cold. If you dress in a suit and tie or stray too far from the normal attire, people suspect you don’t know what you are doing. You might not be serious about computer science.

Humans are weird.
