What a load of crap.<p>&quot;but we know empirically that people who come in dressed in suits rarely work out well for our team.&quot; Really? You keep metrics with clothing formality on the x-axis and success on the y? Otherwise all you are doing is shoving the word &#x27;empirically&#x27; into a sentence to try to disguise your confirmation bias.<p>This article makes me madder by the minute.

I think pre-judging someone, based on them walking in with a suit to your chilled out startup environment, is just as bad as the big corporate companies judging someone for not wearing one.<p>I mean in the end you&#x27;re looking for the right person for the job, not their expertise on what to wear, right?
