As a user I've definitely seen this. But as a PM (product manager) in tech I have not. Most PMs I know push back against UI changes that UI/UX experts push forward because we know (I've been a PM in this position) it will annoy users and add very little value.
Approaches to launching new products in existing businesses?
What's your experience launching new products in established businesses?I've tried this twice in two different companies. It starts out great. The intention is to treat it as a separate team with its own tools and process, but it never works out. You end up using the same dev tools, marketing, and sales process. You get bogged down by the primary business, and ultimately fail to innovate. In...
Ask HN: Project Schedule and Reporting in Confluence?
Do you use or have a tool for this?

I'm looking for a better way.This is more for reporting up to management.

This is pretty cool. It has all the templates for scrum. I like the helper feature to line things up. It seems like it's less of a free form/doodle tool. Do you use it, and what for?

Just checked it out. It has the toolbar heavy/MS Paint feel to it that I don't like. This could just be me though. Realtime stuff looks slick.
Do you use it? What do you use it for?
Ask HN: Whiteboard Tool?
I want to build something that combines the simplicity of this http://witeboard.com/ (drawing app, shape recognition, limited tool menu) with the structure of this https://excalidraw.com/ (object selection, resize) and lets multiple people edit at the same time.What do you think? Would you pay for it? Already have a solution?
Ask HN: I Don't Like Whiteboards
I have a problem with remote whiteboards, and I'm curious if anyone else does. I wrote a little code, took a short video, and put the idea on a website. What do you think?http://www.whiteboardremote.com/

HIPAA compliance for simple app – advice?
I'm creating a simple app for nursing homes, and it will aggregate and store some resident data. I have customer interest, and I want to prototype it fast to get feedback, but in comes HIPAA. Anyone have some hacks or advice?
Should I take an extreme discount for my product?
I'm a startup founder. We have 30 accounts, paying $30-$100/seat for our product today. A new customer, that would be a good reference account, wants it for $10/seat at low volume? We'd lose money. Advice?
How would you get around the wall?

It is a short life, so don't spend too much time on this. Whichever you pick you likely won't be working on it the rest of your life anyway.
Healthcare or energy and AI are both big fields with great potential. I left a 10 year career in manufacturing and am now in healthcare. There is no way I would have predicted or planned it. I just followed the opportunity.
Just find a niche you're interested in, work hard, be the best and it will work out.
I don't subscribe to the "follow your passion message". It's easy to get passionate about something you find success in. And for most of the people that are uber rich now because they "found their passion", when you really think about it this is one of the few reasons they can give that is socially acceptable. Imagine if they said "because I'm smarter than you".
