Bold of you to assume that the development wasn't farmed out to the cheapest subcontractor in a developing country that doesn't even know how to spell IoT.

That's kind of hate speech. Do you really think people can develop software for a wifi router and cannot spell?

> hate speech

You must live in an unbelievably beautiful world to consider that comment to be "hate speech".

I wonder what term you would use to refer to actual vile racist speech? And how you would differentiate between them when you use the term so freely?

I regularly review PRs from developers with English as a first language with various spelling mistakes in variable names, code comments, commit messages, etc.

Not Wi-Fi routers, but I don’t see why those developers wouldn’t be able to slowly churn through Jira tickets for a router software.
