> Korea is great at a lot of engineering disciplines. Sadly, software is not one of them
I disagree. People say the same about Japan and Taiwan (and Germany). IMHO, they are overlooking the incredible talents in embedded programming. Think of all of the electronics (including automobiles) produced in those countries.
Good point! I wasn't treat that as "software" in my answer but it's true that their embedded programming scene is fairly strong.
Embedded electronics, including from those countries, does not have an enviable reputation. :(
What about automobiles from Japan, Korea, and Germany? They are world class. All modern cars must have millions of lines of code to run all kinds of embedded electronics. Do I misunderstand?
Yet people complain about their many software and UI issues all the time.
