Real frustration I sometimes have when meeting founders in Japan: “What were you doing before this?” “I was an engineer.” “Ok... where?” “Rakuten.” “Ok... and what did you do at Rakuten.” “Made apps.” Jesus, it’s like pulling teeth!

I think you're partially running into cultural differences in communication styles and partially running into the sublimated undervaluation of programming in the Japanese tech and tech-adjacent industries.
