Exactly bro! Now keep on rocking in the free world and understand that hubris alone does not a good programmer make but a good programmer is hubristic. Therefore hubris is a poor heuristic no matter what any tech bro tells you.

Therefore you should at least make an effort to dress up for an interview because you never know if it's your last chance to make any sort of impression.

And let your hubris shine that way instead of choosing the casual path that every other one will certainly choose.

Edit: of course this argument is lost on all the beautiful minds who spare no effort at shabby chic

An interview is nothing but a glorified prisoners dilemma aka cooperation dilemma.

Signalling that you're taking the path of least resistance aka snitching is hardly ingenious.

And you call yourself a software professional!

Bro, people don't have any opinions of their own they just pick them up along the way. Think about it.

No. Hubris is wearing a tshirt to an interview

"What a billionaire CEO is telling you when he shows up to a shareholder meeting in a hooded sweatshirt or athleisure wear that costs more than most people's mortgage is that your sense of dignity means nothing to him: he is above you no matter how both of you are dressed."

Could not have said it any better

Hey! Welcome to reach out to me, let's have a virtual cup of tea or coffee -- my email is on my profile page

I think I've scraped the bottom of the barrel of YouTube content and ads, the worst are these Japanese weight loss commercials.

How's your situation, are you still learning and pursuing your own journey? I can totally relate to the feeling of being out of work but I believe strongly that our work is a calling and we must listen to our intuition on the journey to mastery of our art.

-- Incumbency’s biggest drawbacks are lack of creativity, sloth, internecine politics and waste.

And an utter disregard for traditional business mores

Social and political are synonyms my dude but yes not all communication is political but all communication is social.

We have a far too narrow view of what constitutes social media.

Every medium is a social one if you think about it and every social medium is political.

The medium has and always will be the message and when you get to the core you understand the message is simply the audience.

Do you think "primitive" civilizations compared to ours didn't have social media before the advent of the tweet?

They were operating on levels we haven't even begun to understand in our foolish pride.

We're as primitive as we were at the invention of electric light and our technological advancements have outpaced our morality. We're just amplifying the hysteria and confusion with our automated algorithms and always-on engagement and now every poor schmuck has a voice where once it was limited to the elites. You should be grateful that Twitter has democratized the inane blatherings of the proletariat to drown out the voices of so called authority.

100%. The bank I used to work at had a part of the employee handbook dedicated to what happens if you're kidnapped. We're just being naive and casual as we are wont to do. Bro don't worry have another free granola bar.

And in fact one of the devs was poached by a shady bunch of foreign looking suits who would have fit right in with big brother.

In all fairness you have a split second between the light coming on and the video stream initializing to err hide your shame. What are you doing in front of your computer with no pants on? Naked yoga?
