I can't remember, probably not. I think I had some mints, though. Or probably some mouth wash.

I think the real question is if Diablo would wear the mask to an interview.

I'm in a different industry, but in my office, everyone wears jeans and t-shirt, yet everytime someone comes in for an interview, they wear a suit. If I were interviewing someone, I would expect a suit regardless of what the everyday dress is for the office.

In many Bay Area SW companies, a SW engineer who even thought to come to the interview in a suit would very likely not be a good fit for the company. On the flip side, when guys show up in ratty jeans and t-shirt, they are starting w/ negative points from me.

This is crazy. It's not like they will wear a suit for everyday work.

It is very illogical, but there are many programmer types who think not having to wear business attire is some sort of badge of honor, and feel superior because of it. These hyppies see you in a suit, and think you are "not like me", rather "one of them" and will immediately be pre-disposed against you.

What about like a trendy suit with a pattened shirt or something, like a tight black cut, a more patterned shirt, like some sort of clash? Wouldn't that be the safe way to go?

Yes at a young company that will be a very nice play and probably exactly what I would do. Especially in an urban area where khakis tend to be frowned upon.

Oh and to whomever mentioned a tie with no coat. Don't ever wear a tie without a coat, it makes you look like a tool.
