The worst part is... If you've ever had the pleasure of working with an American company you'll notice just how unproductive they are.

Obviously the two are closely connected, but it's always fascinating to me

Some of this is probably because we're not using windows, so nearly everyone is using the browser version.

In my company in nearly every meeting someone has issues with either video, audio, or screensharing not working. We even had a couple instances (including for myself) where it showed the camera as being off, but other people could see you....

For comparison, as much as I dislike google, I also regularly use Meet and I can't even remember ever having issues.

I was thinking North Macedonia or something, but then I remembered that the post referenced pounds

It's been probably 25 years since I read it and I can still remember what an impression it made.

We use Cursor at work and I find it quite useful for quickly putting together something brand new, but fairly painful to try to do anything connected to expanding our existing codebase.

I often run into situations where getting it to do what I want takes longer than just coding something myself.

It's also the biggest language (in terms of native speakers) in the EU. Not that it's anywhere close to a majority...

Just as long as the US never joins (and I say this as an American)

We take things way to seriously (and can't laugh at ourselves) and it would just kill the vibe...

I switched around 7-8 years ago and pledged to stick it out despite any annoyances.

About a year later I needed to use windows for a job and found it incredibly annoying to use. So much of it is just what you are used to.

These days I love gnome and tend to use OpenSUSE or Fedora

Ufff, hurts to see because it would have definitely had at least a chance at winning the whole thing!

That's basically it.

A famous example was a few years back when Electric Callboy wasn't even invited to the national finals for selecting the song because the selection committee knew they would win but "didn't feel the song was fit for radio"

It's a different sport that originated in Mexico but has been expanding fast throughout South America and Europe.

I think Pickleball is more of a US thing
