Why did you spell Monsanto as Mons.anto and Glyphosate as Gl..ypho-sate ? Any specific thing you are trying to stay out of ?


How will this affect Jetbrains ?


JetBrains founders are Russian and have publicly condemned the attacks [1].

JetBrains does have offices in Moscow and Saint Petersburg but they're technically a Czech company with their head office in Prague, Czech Republic.

it is a full-scale war, there are no "attacks"


https://ukraine.ua/news/stand-with-ukraine/

It says:

"The most important thing you can do for Ukraine now is to READ and SHARE verified information about Russia’s attack on Ukraine."

I think they started the war by attacking Ukraine. We shouldn't try to read too much into it.


4 days ago it wasn't the case yet. Things are evolving insanely fast.


They'll most likely need to offer relocation to devs that want it, as they might not be able to employ and/or pay Russian devs anymore due to sanctions.


Jetbrains is Czech. They have lots of Russian developers, but that is an internal matter to them. It won't affect you or my use of Jetbrains products, but it will likely affect how quickly new features and bug fixes are deployed.


> Jetbrains is Czech. They have lots of Russian developers

The company is Czech but the founders and most of the top folks are russian, fwiw.


I woke up in a cold sweat last night with this thought, but yes, Czech company (Russian founders I think)


Look at their blogs. Their key employees are predominantly Russian. Being incorporated in Czech republic doesn't mean squat if their employees work in Russia.


If I remember correctly, they aren't incorporated in Russia (but I may be mistaken).


Czech IIRC


whoa.. i almost forgot about this


Does this work ? Emailing the engineers on LinkedIn ?


> A lot of it comes down to basic quality of many creative endeavors: starting is easy, and finishing is hard. You can start anything, but if you work for long enough eventually you arrive at this ugly middle place. The part of the journey where you start to notice all the warts and imperfections of what you're making, when your limits start to show themselves, when the picture of the thing in your mind starts to diverge from what you're realistically capable of doing. Seeing that, knowing that it was you who created all of that "crap," and _still_ pushing through it to get to the flawed, imperfect, compromised final product, THAT is tough.
