At Three Pillar, we are passionate advocates of the Product Mindset. We've been using the term for quite some time, but it may not be clear right away what it really means. In this article I will focus on the technical aspects of keeping the Product Mindset throughout the life of the software solution.

Recently while I was working on strengthening the security of an online password reset tool, I ran into an a pair of file permission issues related to SELinux. I've witnessed many system administrators and engineers throw up their hands when they encounter a problem like this, and turn off SELinux policy enforcement, weakening the security posture of the system. Instead of doing that, I added a new SELinux policy to allow just the operations my new application needed.

Three Pillar is embracing a new perspective on development, strategy, and infrastructure that we call the Product Mindset. It’s an ideology combining our business acumen with our technological proficiency so we can approach client challenges both as top-tier technical experts and as performance-minded business professionals.
