Moloch,[a] Molech, or Molek[b] is a word which appears in the Hebrew Bible several times, primarily in the Book of Leviticus. The Greek Septuagint translates many of these instances as "their king", but maintains the word or name Moloch in others, including one additional time in the Book of Amos where the Hebrew text does not attest the name. The Bible strongly condemns practices that are associated with Moloch, which are heavily implied to include child sacrifice... Beginning in the modern era, "Moloch" has been figuratively used in reference to a power which demands a dire sacrifice.[8] A god Moloch appears in various works of literature and film, such as John Milton's Paradise Lost (1667), Gustave Flaubert's Salammbô (1862), Giovanni Pastrone's Cabiria (1914), Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927), and Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" (1955). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moloch (more)

Martin Cagan: Product Manager vs. Product Owner Revisited. Many people would go to a short and simple CSPO training, and come out of that understandably considering themselves product owners. Nothing wrong with that if they just realized that this prepared them only for the Agile rituals the product owner has to perform, but for many, that’s not what happened. For many product owners, they actually thought this meant they were trained as product managers.
