We had some British software developers visit our group once and the contrast was stark. They wore suits and business dresses and we wore jeans and t-shirts. I mentioned the difference and one said they were expected to look professional. One of my gang said we were expected to write good code.
Never trust an IT guy in full suit and tie.
That might have just been because they were visiting, In my experience with software devs over here (three of my friends in the roles, and me having applied for some) it is more so jeans and t-shirt, at a push business casual, never suits though unless it's a posh function
I am sure that was it, I just remember the exchange as being hilarious.
I don't know if it's autism or what but you can't make think that a dress shirt and regular shirt are not just fabrics and neither are more or less proper and that it's as real as the tooth fairy.
