I doubt that the CrowdStrike debacle will (or should) move any regulatory needles, but I do know it should be an instant extinction event for CrowdStrike as a company--and any company that remains stupid enough to keep the CrowdStrike malware installed deserves the same fate.

[Edit:] I have no financial (or otherwise) interest in CrowdStrike or any related product or vendor. My point here is that by failing to practice the most fundamental QA in their release process, CrowdStrike directly caused a global IT infrastructure meltdown--which is, of course, what other product is supposed to prevent.

The "punishment" needs to be extinction. Only when that happens will other firms like this, along with the brain-dead lemmings who make most enterprise IT purchasing decisions, start acting responsibly.

Nugget has a pretty vibrant community of SaaS-focused founders. As a modern community, most of that activity is via Slack and Discourse threads, not passive blog posts. The Nugget Slack channels are pretty active, and they include real-world mentoring by folks who have been there/done that.

Like any community, only a small handful of Nugget members are super active. Many people come to Nugget looking for self-implementing ideas, and they tend to wash out when they realize that hard work is involved to make ideas into businesses.

Several Nugget members have done the work to hit revenue, and there is a core group of us who are taking advantage of mentoring by Nugget's Justin and Brandon, who really know their stuff.

I belong to FounderCafe, Fizzle and Nugget; they all add value, but Nugget is laser-focused on actively helping people actually BUILD SOMETHING. If that's what you are seeking, you owe to yourself to check out Nugget.
