Yeah, but how do you know which application was and which wasn't? Apart from some big customers, it usually isn't public knowledge. Eg. my previous project was a banking app for a rich Middle Eastern country. There's no "acknowledgements" section in the app.

My original question still stands - by what metrics do you regard "software from Poland" as "tacky crap"? I'm not being belligerent about it, but somewhat curious, sure.

I'm not fighting, I was just curious what you're basing your claim on. I disregarded your unnecessarily incendiary phrasing ("software from Poland is such a tacky crap") completely.

Software from all of Eastern Europe and ex-USSR is lower quality than American and Western European. Source: live in ex-USSR. We all hired to deliver shitty code for low cost. Not as shitty as Indian, but you get what you pay for.

Here is another mistake, some weird superiority. For the HQ in London, Munich, San Francisco, or Zurich, they are all in the same outsourcing low cost league as Bangajabad. It completery doesn't matter for them whether AI in Java and Kubernetes on Azure is bloated 2 or 3 times too much. Occasionally show them some low quality codebase from India to stroke their egos "you see that's why we keep the office in Novowsky".
