Yes 100% this, Geo-location != language. I wonder why this isn't common sense to be honest

I would understand budget increases or timeline delays rather than fear for my safety.

Right? strange to assume nuclear power plants could be built over night! while discrediting that renewable on components production levels could be easily scaled.

Does any programmer suffer with music theory as well, just based on the fact that an exact thing could be called in many different ways, depends on its position, function..etc?

my brain kind of cannot accept this fact and I struggle with it

That is really old news. read the current situation between Turkey and Egypt, which is actually getting better https://www.reuters.com/article/us-turkey-egypt-diplomacy-id...

The problem revolves around the filling duration. 3 years is way too fast for the downstream. thirsting the downstream is hardly ever a solution.

The difference is, regardless of political divisions, everyone in Egypt totally understands that they are doomed without water. so the mentality there is slowly shifting towards "well, if we are dying anyway...."

There are some FB groups where users can make money by receiving some products, write a review then send it back. then they get something in return. its not super hidden as well

Heh, no wonder in Egypt they are building the new "capital" as well.. guess all military dictatorships are reading from the same manual.

I just want to release because, mainly I see we are running into a loop of write something.. see it could be enhanced,, refactor / redesign.. rinse and repeat

Actually no, the product has a very nice market, however we are in the fault detection field, and as with all these products you will always end up with some percentage of false positive / negatives. and neither devs nor management want to take the risk to just release with known 2-3% error rates

I've been working in a startup for the past 2 years working on a SaaS product.

I would say we have reached a good milestone in our product. however the project consists of multiple parts that each seems to be "could be enhanced" all the time, we haven't reached 99% of our target MVP, but... I mean sure, what newly released product is expected to have a complete set of features, or isn't expected to have some sort of faults?

so, the question really is, what do you suggest could be done to stop this eternal refactoring / enhancing problem?

Constant dehumanization of people does not eventually lead to physical violence?

someone somewhere must believe that they should do something about these bad people.

your argument at best is in bad faith
