Context: JetBrains' founders are Russian. They have offices in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Free speech isn't really a thing in Russia. To openly condemn the actions of the Russian government could have serious repercussions for them, but they did it anyway.

Спаси́бо, JetBrains.

This is concise and yet hugely inspiring. I love seeing people and their companies publicly committing to their ideals. Software engineering is ripe for further movement toward self-awareness. This industry is one of the most powerful parts of our modern world, and placing oneself closer to a recognition of that impact on the real lives of humans is very welcome.

Thanks for the bravery JetBrains.
