Of course not. But unlike geeks who think their 'mad IT skillz' are enough - we are smart enough to look at the entire person. There is more to a role than 'just' the geek park. Before you make comments about working with geeks etc - my 'real' job is in software development - we are a very technical house and have teams leaving our office and working in Redmond with Microsoft several times a year. And we have a very casual dress code - in fact Im in shorts today (man - I got good looking legs).
See - thats where you are wrong - we want to hire people that are smart enough that they dont need hand holding before talking to people. Its called hiring well rounded, professional people. One might be technically strong, but in todays market roles like only require a back room techie are getting less and less.
Actually it does give an indication of competence - if they are unable to dress 'appropriately' for the situation (what ever that situation is) then they do have a bit of a problem. Yeah - I know its complying with 'da man' - but Im sure you shouldn't turn up at your sisters / daughters wedding with a "I fucked the bride t-shirt" - most likely you would wear what 'they' deemed appropriate for their wedding / environment.
They need so much more than that.
