Yeah, that was a big shock for them.

  It wasn’t. Software developers are not allowed to leave Ukraine.

    I know plenty who have, and there are plenty who were here before. Why wouldn't they be able to leave?

      Well you can’t just walk up to border guards and bribe them. You’ve got to have connections, not everyone does.

      Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds to me like this person is assuming all software developers are (military age) men. I'm not aware of other restrictions on people being able to leave Ukraine.

        Military age men are big chunk of ukranian software devs. It's not a small restriction that we can just ignore.

          Quite a lot of folks in Ukraine aren't exactly known for strictly complying with every regulation. There's undoubtedly a huge number of military age men that left regardless, especially among software devs.

    Even if they aren't, Ukraine is very corrupt, so getting through the border will just cost you a couple thousand euros at most.

    Not the best choice of language. They meant to say "Men of conscription age, hence most software developers ..."
