Talent. By being in certain countries you exclude certain talent because of discriminatory laws. Russia for instance can forget about any talent that might be part of or supportive of LGBT. Not sure if Prague is better though, but at this moment most countries are better than 'state sponsored' national socialist attacks.
I think you have no idea about situation Czech Republic and Russia. Work Law is influenced by socialism and way more friendlier to worker.

However, lack of gay developers is definitely not the cause of this shortage (after all, their rights are protected by Constitution and being in top 10% of citizens by income, IT p…
Does anyone know why JetBrains, which seems to very much be a Russian company, has their head office in Prague?
