    Seriously. I joke that I specifically became a sysadmin because a T-shirt (and occasional polo), jeans, and sneakers or boots is already formal for me.

    … it's only partially actually a joke.

      When I was a scrub whose daily tasks involved running eternity cables, supporting warehouse machines, etc. I convinced my boss than business casual was a waste of money unless he wanted to buy my work wardrobe. This was back when I was 20ish, so 23 years ago

        For real - who the hell wants to be commando-crawling through a datacenter in slacks and loafers? Total fucking nonsense.

        I went full remote in early 2018, so now you'd have to put a gun to my head to be in anything more than shorts and a wifebeater while I work. I'm popping into the office this Thursday and for a minute, I was afraid I didn't have any long jeans left for the occasion lmao
