In Brazilian tech culture, 'software bugado' is very commonly used in informal contexts among developers and users. The English term 'buggy' is widely adopted in Portuguese tech communities. In Portugal, more formal language is preferred. In the USA, especially in NYC tech circles, 'buggy' software might be called 'janky' or developers might say the code 'is a mess.' This term is universal in the software development industry across both cultures.
