#3An anecdote from the period described: I was working on a product which had hit an unknown bug on the japanese localised Windows, so our partner sent an engineer with a bunch of install disks to visit me.
One of the first things he said was: look, this is the difference between the US and JP — you have three computers on your desk (he was counting the ICE), but I have to share "my" computer with two other developers.
At the time, I took it for self-deprecating exaggeration. After reading this article, I fear he had probably just been making a factual observation.

It's a transcription of a podcast, not an article on itself.

Need some type of system to summarise it.

#9Thanks for this. I'm probably going to have to move back to Japan soon, since the wife is from there and can't handle living in the USA
Rather than take an 80% pay cut to partake in the salaryman lifestyle, I'm going to have to start some sort of business. This podcast should have some relevant info, haha
