Nope! If computers worked better when the programmers were splendidly dressed, that would make splendid dressing an effective tool.

Alas, programmers, by and large, don't like those; they prefer working with crude tools, or none at all.

They would say, things like, "Real programmers can proudly make it work without the cop-out of just putting on that Armani. Debugging with Armani is no more effective than a well-placed printf if you know what you're doing."
