Might have just been my parents but I remember ironing clothes being so integral to life during childhood but I think I’ve ironed maybe a dozen things as an adult. What happened?

My dad wore a dress shirt and tie to work.
I wear pajama pants and a t shirt. And sometimes just the shirt.
So I iron a lot less.
I wear a dress shirt to work every day. They’re all no-iron; they don’t wrinkle and are wearable out of the dryer.
Textiles have come a long way in the past 50 years.
I’m not old you’re old.
Funny thing is: I switched from cheap T shirts to dress shirts after I bought one good quality one for a job interview.
They don’t get hot in the heat, wick away moisture, keep you warm when it’s cold, don’t shrink or wrinkle, last a good 10 years of heavy use and look professional no matter who you’re with.
I don’t know why my parents’ generation ever abandoned them.
That’s great except I have been told by my boss and my boss’s boss that me looking like a shlub gives me more technical credibility.
I hate to say it but its kind of true.
I have zero care nor concern about what I wear on video, and that includes some pretty hefty level clientele. I was on with some c suite assholes the other day while wearing a TMNT hoodie to explain how they wasted a bunch of money on a bad design and now they need to spend more.
Not one comment and they signed the contract the following morning.
I think its because the people who truly do not give a shit are the ones most capable.
(Caveat: I’m only good and known at the stupid shit that I do, and consider myself 100% dumbass for those things that are not what I do.)
I rarely even activate my camera, but I try to make such a good job that they all accept whatever I throw at them.
No pants? Well, but he fixed our burning pile of shit codebase last week, remember?
