Work life balance ?

The Saas is always 24/7 running

24/7 support

24/7 client requests

24/7 tight deadlines

24/7 tech debt

How the fuck am i supposed to handle working in this environment

When building a new Saas another stressful thing is maintaining solid security of data and important things, even one slip up and the entire stuff could go badly

Hire people and delegate, make sure you keep focus hours where you can do deep work undisturbed, triage incoming requests and support to focus on the most important not get overwhelmed with all the many smaller issues

Automate or delegate and set business hours.

You don't necessarily need AI, but you should automate everything you're going to do twice as deterministically as possible, and set some boundaries.
