The Rewrite Will Fix Everything: Software Engineer Tee

The oldest false hope in the industry, and it gets believed fresh every time. The current system is unbearable, a clean one will be correct by construction, and three years later there are two systems, both running, neither finished, and the new one has grown its own version of the thing everybody hated.

A writer reads this and agrees with it sincerely. A novelist on draft four, a screenwriter, a student with a thesis, anybody who has told themselves the next pass will solve it. They would wear it meaning every word, which is the best possible outcome for a misread.

Filed as a CHANGE REQUEST plate with SIGNED OFF BY ALL PARTIES beneath it, set as a sincere promise rather than as a joke. A cynical setting would explain it and ruin it.

What it is

• Unisex softstyle tee, 4.5 oz/yd² (153 g/m²)
• 100% ring-spun cotton in the solid colors. Sport Grey is a 90% cotton, 10% polyester blend, and Dark Heather is 65% polyester, 35% cotton
• Double stitched neckline and sleeves, side seamed, tear away label
• Sizes S through 3XL
• Fourteen colors. Seven light ones printed in near black ink, seven dark ones printed in cream

Where it comes from

Custom printed in the USA. Every shirt is printed here, one at a time, on a soft cotton blank woven overseas.

Nothing is printed until you order it, so nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing gets thrown away.

Getting it to you

Free US shipping on orders $45 and up. Under that it is a flat $8.00. We make it after you order it, which takes 2 to 5 business days, and it then takes 3 to 4 business days to reach you from a US facility. Most orders arrive in 5 to 9 business days. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the label is created.

Care

Machine wash cold, inside out, gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print.

The Natural colorway

Natural has small dark speckles through the fabric. That is the undyed cotton showing, and it is expected rather than a fault.
