Anecdotes are fragile; I've had the exact opposite experience, Dutch people taking offense for being direct when reviewing code.
- mikrl 1y agoYou’ve never heard the anecdata that the Dutch are notoriously stubborn? The offense could have been the Dutch person being direct about their stubbornness to feedback. Also possibly a point in favour of political speech vs directness. Much easier to politic a stubborn person than tell them to do something directly.
- elktown 1y agoUh oh, multiple layers of anecdata! :)
