I just listened to myself on a recent podcast, and OMFG my english is bad. English speaking countries should sanction me or something.

The fact that you are willing and able to try means you get all the grace in the world. Keep being awesome. 👊🏻

💯 this. It's a privilege that English is the assumed default for a lot of technical discussion, and I think you speak it quite well @patriksvensson.se. if anything, I think many non-native speakers often appear as more measured and thoughtful speakers (though maybe this is me projecting)

Whenever I have to listen to myself I just pray for a quick and painless sudden death.

you know this is like captain kirk complaining “my klingon is bad”. you already speak a different language on top of your achievements, and that’s already amazing as it is. :)
