I don't agree with much of this. And on a fully personal note, some of the best software developers I know are from Japan. Not to say their software was great, but individually, they were tip toeing on savant.

There are also many Japanese programmers who are the authors of some very important contributions to widely used open source software projects. A typical example of such work, characterized by careful optimizations, was the GotoBLAS library of Gotō Kazushige, which at the time of its introduction (two decades ago) was a great advance for open-source numeric programs and it has strongly influenced all the later open-source linear algebra libraries.
