Why don’t they wear suits? And how do other businesspeople take them seriously when they don’t wear suits? It seems super unprofessional.
Image This is true. If you’re good at a tech job you don’t need to wear a suit because you’re valuable to the company. Most programmers don’t like to wear suits and don’t wear them if they can get away with not wearing them. Also as a way of setting them apart from sales/legal/management people. Tech bros mostly started out as programmers and kept that habit.
Suits are a lot less common in the professional world than they used to be.
“In Silicon Valley, wearing a full business suit marked you as unsophisticated and not ‘with it’ in terms of tech and innovation. This caused the dress code requiring a suit to be inverted and it eventually reached the point where you can’t wear a suit and be taken seriously in Silicon Valley.”
Know who I take seriously? Someone who speaks competently.
Suits are not very common in the professional world anymore.

Not having to is a status symbol.
