[ossig] What the bubble got right



I like this article.

http://www.paulgraham.com/bubble.html

excerpt:
--------
And what would be wrong would be that how one
presented oneself counted more than the quality of
one's ideas. That's the problem with formality.
Dressing up is not so much bad in itself. The problem
is the receptor it binds to: dressing up is inevitably
a substitute for good ideas. It is no coincidence that
technically inept business types are known as "suits."

Nerds don't just happen to dress informally. They do
it too consistently. Consciously or not, they dress
informally as a prophylactic measure against stupidity.
