As someone who has a degree in physics and a career in computer programming, I agree that physics was much much harder to wrap my head around. Whereas computer programming feels like mostly common sense with some design thrown in. Programming languages were written by humans to get things done. Nature is fucking insane when you really try to understand it under the covers.
That said, a world class software developer knows how to see around corners and build something that won’t be a mess to maintain and add features to in five years. This is very much a skill that takes a lot of aptitude, plus a decade or more of gnarly real-world experience.
IMO Fetterman can suck it up and stick to a dress code like approximately 150M other Americans. I wouldn’t want my dentist, pilot, or senator in a hoodie.
(Not a big issue overall, but sometimes you just suck it up. Think his staff is allowed to wear hoodies?)
To the contrary, it is ridiculous for senators to wear suits. Should be a strict dress code of crimson togas imo. Supreme Court only branch taking their jobs seriously.
