> There's subtle differences here, but Google tends to use a lot more English words, and Huawei talks mostly in code. I learned how well code speaks when working with remote web/mobile app contractors who hardly spoke English and had a 12hr time difference. If they didn't understand something right the first time, it could cost a day of progress. I started giving them code or cURL examples on how to use every backend call I implemented, often using multiple together. We ended up better oiled than some fully-localized teams I've been on. Now I just work with other Americans in the Google offices, and I've seen success focusing our internal communications and docs more on examples. I often complain about how many English words our docs have, both internally and with customers. Nobody cares what my thing is or what philosophy it follows, they care how to use it. And like TikTok videos, brevity helps. However, I don't think this explains TikTok's ability to load videos quickly.
