WDYT - interview related
Say you are looking at a company to work for, and one of their tips for interviewing with them is "Dress comfortably. We're interested in you, not what you wear." Do you think that really is giving you liberty to dress as you are (obviously considering appropriate out of the house attire)? Or does that mean more business casual, like you don't have to wear full interview suits, but no jeans? I'm sure this sounds like a stupid question, but its been so long since I've gone to a real interview, I have no idea how things work anymore. This is a big tech/software company, so its not a traditional office setting. So, if I was able to get an interview, I would just hate to misread it and look like a total a$$, whether its because I'm way under-dressed or too "professional" looking. Thoughts?

Sounds business casual to me, and also seems like a sneaky trick question to see how you follow directions, and to what extent you interpret things. But I always go the business casual route regardless... its just more comfortable for me.
I know for Chris, in his line of business, anyone who dresses in a business suit for a game development interview is automatically tossed.... they don't need people who think that dress is going to define you in a company where skillz and personality matter more than anything else.

Stand up for something you believe in.
And this is exactly what I would be afraid of. Honestly, its better for me not to do a suit anyway since a. I don't have one, and b. I'd be so uncomfortable it would definitely show. I just don't want to go in jeans and a t-shirt, which I'd certainly feel most like me in, but find that isn't quite what they meant, lol.
And law - I actually know someone who worked with them briefly, and I know she went in like jeans and a sweatshirt. She got the job, but it was for game tester, and the position I'd be going for would be much higher than that, so I'm not sure she'd be the best to base my dress code on. Googling is a good idea tho.
