I can't agree. They're always oppressively hot for me. All those layers! The tie always gets too tight. All this ritual just for appearances when I'm supposed to build for a living.

We've come a long ways since the days of east-coast IBM doing spot checks to make sure that men were wearing garter socks. I'm not doing anything that takes us back to some barbaric past where I get judged solely on looks.

If you want to be a suit, fine. Some people really do look great in them; I'm not one of them. Just don't push it on the rest of us.
