That is more or less correct. It is a way for state governments to enable "their side" to win easier. It will get worse as the demographic shift continues to strangle the GOP's support in swing states.
Management made demands that exceeded resources available and kept blocking my vacation to try to meet deadlines. I literally left with 100% of my vacation accumulated.
Do you genuinely believe that when many laws are written by interest groups and past with little modification?
And yes, the average race us corrupted by outrageous lies. I have literally never seen an election at any level that lacked outrageous lies by at least one of the candidates.
Technocrats lack the skill set to win elections where everyone lies outrageously.
If they had such skills, they would be common American politicians. One if the few benefits of China's collectivism is all the politicians have to share the same reality, even adjusted by party propaganda. It allows technocrats to operate effectively since they do not need to compete with outrageous liars.
It is blocking people from converting to paying customers because as soon as we see an issue like that we know it isn't viable because we'll get denied.
When glaring security issues sit open for a year, you need to understand GitLab is a problem for anyone who has regular security audits.
I am not asking for 100% redirection of resources to fix all the issues. I am suggesting they reprioritize resource allocation to lean more towards fixing issues that exist instead of new feature implementation.
I am not here to push any specific ticket. I just think GitLab should move in the direction of redirecting more resources to fixing the warts as a general policy decision.
Ultimately, I am not your customer and haven't been for a couple years so it is up to you.
GitLab should, frankly, focus on performance/ux/bug-fix releases every other release. And probably for the next 2-3 releases to get some of the warts under control.
This constant push for project management features, frankly, is at the expense of the core product. I'd rather use a combination of GitHub and JIRA over Gitlab.
