Oddly enough, in stuffy industries not adhering to the dress code is a strong social signal that you're good enough to be able to flaunt it.

This is classic countersignalling behaviour: By refusing to pay the cost (financial, time, and comfort) of dressing up, you're communicating that you're not afraid of being mistaken for an interloper.

permanent 3-day stubble

I really want to know how to do this. My stubble goes from 0-day to 1-day to 2-day to 3-day and then back to 0-day...

I achieve variable-length shaven-stubble with "Amazon: Panasonic Beard and Mustache Trimmer and Hair Clipper for Men". Once-over with the main clipper (sans attachment) is like a 2/3 day (but it looks a little uneven), and then the mustache trimmer to achieve a 1/2-day.

Avoiding zero-days is a priority of mine, also, so I felt compelled to share. Good luck!

To ride on this, I get pretty consistent results similar to this with hair clippers from Walmart and the smallest attachment they come with. I didn't even really think about it, but I'll probably get a "Beard and Mustache Trimmer" as my next one.

If you're in an urgent need for a 3-day beard, a trip to Walmart and 3 days will do it.

It's easy, just use a clipper on the lowest setting instead of an actual shaver

Get a beard trimmer with attachment #0 or #1.
