"Don’t have Stupid Dress Codes" is then followed by a dress code:

"For some of them that’s jeans and a basic collared shirt and for others it’s business casual."

Which for the author's arbitrary reasons leaves out jeans and a t-shirt - although this guy makes some good points, this one is a bust.

yeah, that comment really seemed to show how out-of-touch the author really is. I haven't worked in a place that required a collared shirt in more than a decade. The last few interviews I've had, the interviewer wore a t-shirt and jeans.

He works in a consulting company in Texas. You need to project a certain level of professionalism to make your customers feel comfortable. Sometimes looking weird can be positive, e.g. for designers, but it can be a distraction.

He said stupid dress code and then comes up with a reasonable one.

I don't see how it's reasonable. If you're going to demand a collared shirt, you may as well demand a suit.
