Cultural Background

This phrase is a verbal manifestation of that cultural trait. On Lithuanian social media, #viskasbusgerai was a major trending hashtag during the COVID-19 lockdowns to build community spirit. In Lithuanian startups, this is often used by mentors to encourage young developers when code fails.
