WTF, man. I've worked with German developers, Norwegian developers, British developers, developers from countless countries, really. I'm giving you my honest assessment based on decades of working with and managing these guys.

There's no shame in it. The platforms people are coding for come largely from Seattle, California, New Jersey, etc. Americans ought to be best at these things.

As for the rest of it, the USA isn't perfect but the amount of time and energy I spend on cops and doctors is vanishingly small. I did break a bone once and I have no idea who paid for it, but if it came out of my pocket it apparently didn't cost me much.

There's nothing wrong with just, you know... paying for the things you need without a bunch of social engineering legerdemain.

So why e.g. Cisco then is so fucked up in so many aspects while on the contrary Avaya is considerably fine for telephone-systems ?

Cisco is like a fucking anthill honestly judged. Every square milimeter you look at there is a fucking bug like every square milimeter of an anthill contains a hole or an ant.

And don't get me started on microshit's dll-files...

I think Cisco, Avaya and Microsoft are all American companies that employ engineers from all over the place, right? Some companies within a country are just better than others.

I can accept to agree on this.

Well, looking back at what I posted originally, "way behind" was probably an exaggeration. Better to just say "behind" or "slightly behind" or something like that.
