No one covers their tattoos (except because it's cold) or shaves (because they're required to, obviously a lot of people shave) in New York tech offices. And, um, there's a lot of tattoos and beards among New York tech hipster types.

Shorts are certainly more useful here in the summer (okay, they're basically mandatory if you don't want to be miserable some days) than in SF where it's usually sort of chilly.

Seems overly reductive.
