Why pay $150k for a robot when you can get a mexican for $10?
Some jobs will never be automated.

$60k initial purchase, then $12k per year on maintenance. That's an expensive toaster

Yeah, the maintenance alone is almost a salary. Really, robots do some things well, but really, many jobs just cant be automated.

It may work for the places that sell cheap hamburgers that need to be exact the same; and even then, I'd prefer a human made burger - would you pay $5 for a bit meat from a toaster?

Something in that story stinks. The restaurants human staff couldn't keep up with the robot so they replaced it with human burger flippers. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It just struck me that it must be difficult to be a programmer in a non-English-speaking country because all of the classes and function names in a given framework are in English, so picking the correct class/method must be somewhat difficult.

And you didn't mentioned the endless typos... And the fact that some has better English than others, so do different typos...
We use Hebrew words written using English letters, like Talmid (means student) and so...

Au contraire, I hate it when programs or Windows are in Dutch, but for 'normal' users things are different of course, always amazes me how bad some people are at speaking English
But bonus points for thinking about foreign people (o dear, now a track of Foreigner is playing again in my head, you're as cold as ice etc. etc.)

Not too hard to imagine, as most will have experienced VB and it s CRLF statement ending
Also doesn't conflict with ASCII, which German text does.

Back in real life (i.e., as a chemist) it was always understood that the international language of science is broken English.
By and large, the domination of English is probably a consequence of it not shielding itself from "foreign influences" - some "schmucky" places think protecting their language ("think: surrender monkey") will maintain its strength. On the contrary - it is mercifully hurry its long-overdue demise.
Aside from the crazy spelling and other stuff, it's actually a rather welcoming.

Regarding "not shielding itself from 'foreign influences'":
Old English was strongly influence by conquest. First by Old Norse (during the DaneLaw the Norse ruled most, sometimes all, of England). The roots of both languages were the same, but word inflection differed between the two. Middle English solved this by dropping almost all inflection. This was followed by two doses of French: Norman French, then Parisian French.
As for "crazy spelling": it was actually phonetically correct ... about 600 years ago based on the local dialect of the first Englishman to own a printing press.

Actually, as I understood it, until comparatively recent times, spelling was ad-hoc.
Although not the first dictionary, Webster's Dictionary can be given some credit:
Webster completed his dictionary during his year abroad in 1825 in Paris, France, and at the University of Cambridge. His book contained seventy thousand words, of which twelve thousand had never appeared in a published dictionary before. As a spelling reformer, Webster believed that English spelling rules were unnecessarily complex, so his dictionary introduced American English spellings, replacing "colour" with "color", substituting "wagon" for "waggon", and printing "center" instead of "centre". He also added American words, like "skunk" and "squash", that did not appear in British dictionaries. At the age of seventy, Webster published his dictionary in 1828; it sold 2500 copies. In 1840, the second edition was published in two volumes. Standardization of spelling, which does not attack the validity of your claim, is rather recent. The influence of frog-speech* may have much to do with too-many silent letters.
* A language that didn't evolve past counting to 'sixty', having to go to 'sixty-ten' because seventy was just too much for them to comprehend.
