Dressing well, shaving, etc. takes lots and lots of time. Best programmers spend all their time programming or thinking/dreaming about programming ;)
* - I am not one of these people. I work best recently bathed and shaved, in fresh clothes and with a clean workspace. Anything less drives me absolutely bonkers.
As a male? Not really. If you can put together a small, simple wardrobe of well-fitting clothes that go well with each other, you'll already be ahead of 90% of other guys, with no on-going time costs other than the normal bathing and shaving duties.
Well-fitting is the important part. Most guys don't wear clothes appropriate for their body type, at least here in the states.
And while the article didn't exactly show the who's who of male models, at least it was remarkably free of the atrocious cheap short-sleeved/khaki cubicle combo.
(If only the Nehru jacket would make its comeback in the western world. I'd finally be able to dress like a Bond villain and get rid of annoying collars in one go.)
