Comment on Fashion for Geeks: Why bother?

Comments

Hmm, I don't like the stereotype. Most of my friends that are programmers are fairly fashion forward.

I live in Vancouver, so maybe that is different from the valley.

Some of my friends are the Yaletown game developer nerds. This probably describes me. I like my Pumas and Lacoste shoes. When Douglas Coupland described the "Nikumas" in his book jPod, I almost fell over from laughing because he described the situation perfectly. The rest of the attire fits the shoes. Think Kanye West's outfit.

I know the Gastown web developer nerds too. They wear their Skechers and other hipster-nerd shoes. The rest of the attire matches.
