This term is universally used in both Brazilian and Portuguese tech communities. In Brazil's thriving tech scene (particularly São Paulo), the English term 'bug' is often used alongside Portuguese translations. In the USA and particularly NYC, developers frequently use the shortened form 'algo bug' in casual conversation. The term reflects the highly technical nature of software development as a global discipline with largely English-based terminology.
