Japanese are very egocentric and insular.
There was a story on Hackaday about Japanese Hackers simply ignoring English speaking part of the internet. Those are Hackers hacking on something in a Hackerspace, people on the forefront of open minded thinking.
- mayanksinghal 12y ago>Japanese Hackers simply ignoring English speaking part of the internet. Internationalization seems to be something that hackers rarely invest time on. It is not like hackers in Silicon Valley build their products while worrying about supporting users who speak Mandarin/Cantonese/Japanese/Hindi etc. I really don't think it is close-mindedness at play here.
- Torgo 12y agoAm I to understand then that there is a parallel online hacking community populated by Japanese-speakers? I have never really run across this, just blogs randonly-dispersed.
- nandemo 12y agoOf course there is! After all, the majority of Japanese developers don't speak English. There's also a lot of offline activity: meetups, study groups and (less commonly) hackathons. For example, look at JAWS-UG (Japan AWS User Group)'s schedule: http://jaws-ug.jp/ http://jaws-ug.jp/
- ramchip 12y agoI don't see why that's "egocentric". They just don't speak English...
