I used to be a database developer, Oracle engineer if one wants to split hairs and use "terms". Tom Kyte and Don Burleson were the big Oracle voices then, one of them retired and the other went even more insane. This is about the latter. Don Burleson had/has an Oracle consulting company which is IN NO WAY ASSOCIATED with Oracle because they want nothing to do with him. Yes, Larry Ellison's company wants nothing to do with Burleson. So let's kick it off with a rational talk about tattoos: http://www.dba-oracle.com/dress_code_tattoos.htm quote:Tattoos have a curious history Okay so uh, let's move on. How about golf? Surely golf cannot offend! http://www.dba-oracle.com/consultant_golf_etiquette.htm quote:
Continuing to move right along, how about standards on how folks dress themselves. http://www.dba-oracle.com/dress_code.htm quote:
...women shouldn't wear pants, got it. Here are some tips as to how to comport oneself if consulting in a foreign land: http://www.dba-oracle.com/consultant_religon_culture_guidelines.htm quote:There are many social differences across the globe and many customs and terms with which you may not be familiar. Here are a few dining tip that come to-mind: I don't think I've posted a thread since I banned myself when lowtax was uh, being lowtax. But finding this poo poo still up a decade alter? This man deserves to be shamed.

Just some extremely heterosexual times on the course with da boys. I'm a woman, so please, is it normal fun and not homoerotic in any way for guys to show each other their balls outside of like a changing room or something?

Oracle engineers are very far removed from humanity in general so it's practically a given they'd be incredibly weird Case in point: OP

The tattoo one is a real  because one - the entire history of tattooing is way loving wrong. like way wrong. Also its not like the database is judging your dress attire, dipshit. I'm always reminded of The Oatmeal when people talk about dress code  Appropriate PPE is cool and good. Dress codes are made up classist bullshit, making employees buy a uniform & maintain it (a suit) that they only wear to work.

He’s sort of right about tattoos though, they’re really not a unique thing anymore. Maybe the opposite.

Not sure what this has to do with "nerds" OP. It's been a while since I worked in a formal setting, but people generally are expected to dress and groom in a way to match the clients being met with. These days I doubt many meetings happen in formal attire. Also I have never heard of "dicks out" golf.
