Somewhat less sarcastically, if you're going to attempt to apply "Oriental" concepts here, I'd go with wa here: there is a set order here and it's not the junior's role to disturb it.
- cookiecaper 10y agoYeah, it is indeed true that I barely know anything about this. I thought about adding a disclaimer but it's trite to read those all over the place IMO. I just think it's an interesting cultural difference, from what little I know. ;) More than happy to accept correction and education from people who are better informed -- getting pushback on my thoughts is one of the big reasons I like to post on HN.
