Already on Friday, Fastly, one of the more prominent representatives of the Website acceleration technology business, went public. Despite two days old, still worth mentioning. The San Francisco based company can be found under the label NASDAQ: FSLY. Measured by the initially offered price of 16$/share, the first day of trading close at $24.20 can be considered a successful IPO.

Normalerweise lasse ich politische Ereignisse lieber un-kommentiert, und ich will Politik auch nicht zum Inhalt dieses Blogs machen. Aber die Österreichische Presse arbeitet den Fall so schön auf, dass ich an der Stelle auf diesen Hinweis verlinken will. Es hat ja auch mit Security und Privacy zu tun, wenn man das so sehen möchte. Weil von dem Vorfall in dem Text nicht einmal die Rede ist, an der Stelle auch noch einen schönen Gruß an die Bildredaktion des Standard.

It appears Salesforce was shutting down its services May 17th 2019. Reason was a faulty configuration of scripting options, that allowed users to access to all their company’s Salesforce data. To prevent worse, Salesforce shut down.
Salesforce said the script only impacted customers of Salesforce Pardot – a business-to-business (B2B) marketing-focused CRM.
However, out of an abundance of caution, the company decided to take down all other Salesforce services, for both current and former Pardot customers.
Benoit des Ligneris describes a model in his article about the environment in which product management has to navigate. This environment has many influences, and a product evolves with influences from many sources. The Maslov inspired pyramid of Product Managers needs starts with real world dependencies. The market is the basis for any product, hence is the most needed input to any product and the product management. Further in the article Benoit describes the individual layers and why they are relevant to the Product Management organisation.
While objectively everybody will agree a Product Manager will need to mediate between these layers, it may be worthwhile to evaluate the level of influence each individual layer has in a particular organisation. Most often the influence on the product is reversed and higher levels influence outcomes more than they should.
It’s the product management organisations responsibility to feed the product by its needs and not just represent but balance all layers in the decision management process. A lot like in the Maslov pyramid, a healthy product starts with basic needs.

Google’s Kubernetes Engine (GKE) now supports node pools that are wrapped in gVisor to allow running untrusted workloads.

KI ist ja schon eine ganze Weile ein Schlagwort, dass die Herzen der Technologiegemeinde und Zukunftsgläubigen höher schlagen lässt. Eine schwedische Brauerei setzt die Methode jetzt dafür ein, den perfekten Whiskey zu produzieren. Weil Whiskey üblicherweise Jahrelang in Fässern lagert, ist davon auszugehen, dass die ersten Ergebnisse erst auf den Markt kommen, wenn der KI Hype wieder vorbei ist. Oder Skynet die Kontrolle übernommen hat.
