The workload of managers have probably increased as well. This may not be sustainable for all organizations?

One thing that managers generally does not like is staff that does not “fall in line” and create issues for them that they have to deal with. I would therefor not mention for example having emailed VP:s about issues or highlighting bypass f

The ”game” of software development is rather ”won” by understanding the surrounding business and delivering on those goals rather than any, by software developers made up, “goals” about “standards”, “unit testing” or “SOLID design patterns”

Example 1 was interesting. Who was it that was inflexible and may be difficult to work with? The interviewer that wanted to ask about another specific solution or the person who was interviewed who was not interested in another solution?

I would recommend that when someone is new in a large project with an older code base, to pay attention and learn from others. A mistake I often see is too many “suggestions for improvement” too early. This behavior, when excessive as it of

Many meetings are extremely important for me as a manager. Very few of the meetings are about “deciding things”, rather they are about aligning views. As a manager I see my role as setting up meetings so that the most qualified peoples view

The main parts of the wrong-doing: - The school had obtained consent from the pupills and each one of the pupills could opt out at any time. The Swedish Data Protection Agency (DPA) did however find that due to the power balance of a school

Additional information if anyone is interested: In general, I believe for example the US court system hierarchy (where you appeal instance by instance in serial order) is very different from the EU court system (when it comes to interpretat

The main parts of this judgement were very unsurprising. It is very well established in EU law that a higher national court can not order a lower court to withdraw a reference for a preliminary ruling from the Court of Justice of the Europe

In many real world applications using common databases you do not always need “transaction safety”, in particular when reading data for statistical purposes. Performance gains and not blocking the database for many other readers and writers

This is correct according to the text of the law. However, according to precedents the criteria “the matter can be satisfactorily investigated” is not easily satisfied in case of serious crime that is contested (see the court case RH 2011:4

I have no idea of the facts in this case, but based on how organizations function in general, one possibility is that the redundancy issues of MCAS were raised internally by some engineers without result. In that case, the engineers were pr

Just a side note in relation to the title, EU institutions are not subject to GDPR. They are instead subject to the similar Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Much smaller administrative fines amon

Well, I have had well run experiments which showed that the “currently internally hyped” way of doing things is completely inferior to the “old boring” and inexpensive way. The project leader was extremely hyped about doing the experiment t

Another upshot is that this system with a whiteboard marker is avoiding personal data processing that is not needed (the GDPR data minimization and storage limitation principles). Privacy by design :-)

What is important is the business objectives. It does not matter if a whiteboard marker is used or a mouse is used that sends signals to an elegant micro-service architecture. The customer is always right, and in this case the restaurant is

I just want to add for the record that I am not a fan of very complicated principles based legislation (which GDPR is) by myself. It is not easy to comply with and it has clear drawbacks. But now we have GDPR I wanted to state facts (as I u

Yes. Exactly what non-material damages means will be up to CJEU to decide eventually. I do not think many ppl expects it to mean “free-for-all” and I do not think your “sleeping example” would suffice. Admittedly, no one can know for sure a

The level of fines looks like it will be harmonized by EDPB (a board of all Data Protection Authorities) so individual DPAs will probably not be able to set arbitrary levels. There are also the one-stop-shop rules so a company will normally

I agree with everything in your comment. Regarding necessity I think it should not be interpreted too strictly. Rather, I believe it means something like this in EU law: “Necessity implies the need for a combined, fact-based assessment of t

I agree w this too. However, it depends if you have a valid contract with the user and the data processing is sufficiently related to the performance of that contract, if you are going to use that basis. Notwithstanding Article 5.2 on accou
