Readit NewsWho the fuck are they talking about? Clearly not HashiCorp. The most popular tool in HashiCorp's ecosystem that wasn't written by them was written by a consulting firm who hated HashiCorp's UX.

Still true in the current regime. I remember that about 2 days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, all my Russian acquaintances, who didn't know each other, respond with "what about Yugoslavia?!"[1] to my inquiries. Yugoslavia?

It seems that the problem is not in density, not in the large difference of wealth levels, not in ethnic / cultural composition, etc. Maybe it's somewhere around law enforcement, maintenance of public places, etc. Something that could be even changed by voting.
