Seconding this, I'm Dutch and I still struggle to see how they'd complement each other.


Well that's just because you hate both the French and the Germans ;)


In France we're creative but sloppy, in Germany they care about the process too much but they don't deviate from plans. It's nice to have both: what's the point of following the plan if the entire project is pointless ? French people would challenge early and often, while germans would implement correctly and to the letter.

I really feel we complement each other, each time I work with germans they fix my tendency to be quick and dirty and I push them to accelerate and take shortcuts when they make sense.


Ah, I see! That's cool.
