      I must protest in the strongest of terms that this is not Hacker news. It is a well known fact that hackers require beards. Glorious, full-bodied beards. Beards that look good with suspenders and the occasional suit when necessary. Beards that get you on lists like this: http://www.codethinked.com/post/2007/12/06/The-Programmer-Dress-Code.aspx

      Adding to this, I have this blog post bookmarked from an HN post a few months ago:

      http://www.codethinked.com/it-takes-all-kinds

      It was made in response to a popular post claiming that Rails is “yesterday’s software”.
