There's also some interesting differences between the current generations vs previous generations of Americans.
Social improvements like free lunch, health care might not be as much of a divided topic for folks that lived around the early half of 1900s.

To be frank, Americans like to think they're unique. They're _not_ that unique.
That thinking is more of the result of how the recent generations were brought up to think, and is overly skewed towards it. Why? I'm not sure.
Americans a couple of generations ago didn't seem to be like that.

And I agree on the statement that folks care more about their rights as an individuals than they do about the future of the country.
That's actually a somewhat common thing in developing countries, but that's the result, not the cause. Obviously oversimplification, but there's also truth in it.

US regions are actually not as unique as you might think.
Like I said, I’ve grown up overseas in multiple cultures, and now I’m in the US. There are a lot of similar patterns I recognizes here as well.
Sure, there’s some uniqueness of Americans but I don’t see that as enough of a differentiator.

I thought it might be because the country is big, because EU countries and Japan are generally quite small compared to the US.
But then China has some regional cultures though still not crazy divided like the US. Can’t say the general public’s education level is high there as well.

As someone who grew up overseas in Asia, there is a fundamental difference with Americans.
The interesting part is, there’s very little “we” but a lot of “us” in convos.
Like Californians vs Texans, where it’s more focused on states than the country itself. Also just education in general.

Being on a team that is moving fast and getting shit done is one of the best feelings in the world.
As my coworker @gsiener.bsky.social says... it's not "happy engineers ship fast"; it's that engineers who ship fast ARE HAPPY ENGINEERS.
It's not the whole story, but it's a lot of it. ☺️

The most persistent rookie manager problem I've encountered is the belief that managers are there to make their teams happy.
That is not the job.
Their job is to build highly functional teams that move the business forward. People on these teams are usually happy, but that's a trailing indicator.

"It is impossible to foster a psychologically safe culture if persistent underperformance goes unaddressed. Psychologically safe culture is not centered around being nice, it is centered around being fair"
