Ask HN: Project managers – your best and worst experiences

I've worked with product, content, engineering and marketing teams. I've seen some petty & irritating project managers, and some very good ones. I still struggle with seeing their use in some cases, when experts can make a much better case for themselves. What is your experience with PMs and how do you handle the idea of PMs presenting your work without you?

Not enough ink has been spilled on this topic. Great share!

Ask HN: Tech space – what do you appreciate in your marketing/growth colleagues?

Looking back at all your jobs and/or freelancing gigs, what were qualities that you respected in people working for the marketing/growth team in that company?I see a lot of engineers and founders in the tech space (un)intentionally dismissing their marketing colleagues, or thinking a marketer's work is less important than theirs whenever they approach a deadline.And I have also seen a whole lot...

Since Sheets is already free, I'm thinking you said this because you'd want it open sourced. Curious about why you'd want it open sourced.
A large chunk of our company relocated to Raleigh, NC - so we also moved our HQ here.

They literally did a spreadsheet with different metrics they were looking for (business environment, they knew there were only some weather conditions they'd be willing to go for, looked into schools & safety for their young kids, taxes, house prices etc) graded and analyzed that data (we're an analytics consultancy so if you think about it, it makes sense :) ).

After narrowing down to 2 or 3 locations, they ended up with Raleigh. About 4 (including the first two co-founders) moved here initially, together with their families (wife & 4 kids each). Few months later others joined the team here as well, families included. We still have some collages working from Bay Area and we support them, but most of the team is here now.

Instead of focusing on what Machine Learning is, this tutorial shows you how to apply it to a specific issue, like what to do when your image is broken.
Supported cloud data sources: Adobe Analytics, Doubleclick, Adwords, Facebook, Bing, Kochava, Youtube. Soon Twitter & Salesforce.

Supported Databases: Amazon Redshift, MySQL, Google BigQuery. Soon Microsoft SQL. BI tools like Tableau also supported.

Our product acts as a pipeline that sends clickstream & ad data to user's selected databases. Would love to get your feedback!

Thank you! Did you try it out?
Hello,

My colleagues built what we think is the first free Tableau Connector that integrates Adobe Analytics, AdWords, Facebook Ads, FB Pages, Bing Ads and Kochava data inside Tableau dashboards.

We're also getting ready to roll out a bunch of new features this week, including data blocks, preview, custom calendars, and a Youtube connector.

Would you mind giving us your thoughts and/or feedback on it?

Title edited back to show Forbe's title. But I think that it should have been more about how lean and design thinking can be applied to content and marketing.
