I couldn't agree more. It's a real shame that the standard is that software is never "finished" anymore. Using a work-in-progress is always problematic.

Factorio is a common example of a video game that is very polished. It could be frozen in time and be considered finished.

Yet it receives consistent updates finding smaller and smaller fixes and refining the game even more. How do you reconcile those ideas?

[JohnFen]

What's to reconcile? If there are releases that are beyond bug fixing, then it it's not "completed", it's a work in progress.

Respectfully disagree, I think getting value out of a work in-progress is preferable to the alternative and provides vital feedback to the software builders.

[JohnFen]

As a dev, I get that. As a user, I very much dislike that software is often in a perpetually unfinished state.

i agree with both, "finished" software i think can happen only with small pieces of sotfware, every medium size+ project needs a continuous development
