> Korea is great at a lot of engineering disciplines. Sadly, software is not one of them
I disagree. People say the same about Japan and Taiwan (and Germany). IMHO, they are overlooking the incredible talents in embedded programming. Think of all of the electronics (including automobiles) produced in those countries.
What about automobiles from Japan, Korea, and Germany? They are world class. All modern cars must have millions of lines of code to run all kinds of embedded electronics. Do I misunderstand?
