Flaky Fashion

During the last four weeks, I've been to a few conferences. Sick of wearing the same t-shirts and jeans, I've been experimenting with different outfits. By far the most successful t-shirt (yes, I know, I said I was sick of wearing t-shirts) was a new one I designed for the Develocity Developer Advocates showing our disdain for intermittently-failing tests.

Gradle might get around to making these, but fear not! You do not need to wait. You can have your own made, just like I did. Here, we're modelling two different types from the same source.

The men's is a "vintage black", which means it's a somewhat faded black. Both Brian and Baruch are wearing a large:

The women's is a loose-fit, scoop neck. It's pretty long too, I have to wear mine tucked in or it looks like a nightshirt! It's a lovely soft cotton, and it's a nice change from a "unisex" (i.e. "looks good on no-one") fit. I'm wearing a medium, and it comes up pretty big:

I ordered these from this site because I needed a US-based site that would deliver a women's fit within a week to a US-address. I'm REALLY happy with the result and would use them again, but they don't deliver outside of North America, unfortunately.

If you want your own flaky tests t-shirt (or other custom goods), feel free to use the images I created for this t-shirt on any t-shirt printing site:

I've used Zazzle and Cafepress in the past, but there are loads of sites that do it. Not many do a great women's-fit though, so take care with that.

If you like some of my other t-shirts, I've also shopped at Redbubble, ManWhoHasItAll and Qwertee.

I wish I'd had this t-shirt when I recorded this video about how much I hate flaky tests.
