When the product marketer, product manager, and designer are the same person there is no alignment meeting.
I don't disagree on cutting these roles first, but I don't think it's a function of these roles being non-important; rather when a company stops growing these roles have less utility. Less about the role and more about…
Agreed really good fit. I bet a large % of Segment's customers were using Twilio endpoints. Really nice combination of a data hub / last mile across multiple channels...fully expect they will continue moving up the…
That is probably true. But, I'd also suspect that in 99% of cases some form of that data (lots of post processing) ends back in data store where all kinds of people use SQL to analyze it. Two main reasons: 1) join it…
The tech companies you identified are getting hit 1st. I expect to eventually see fallout in Fintech, Realestate, Advertising, anyone selling B2B SaaS (particularly to marketing/HR/ sales departments, SMB), etc. It will…
I’m not into celebrities nor am I a Laker fan —- really the opposite — but this has hit me more than I expected. One of the best comments I’ve seen is about how Kobe more or less achieved self actualization. He willed…
The people regularly reading CMO today has to be a very valuable audience -- they probably make a ton of money selling that data as anyone selling into Marketing departments would pay a lot to be able to target those…
Sadly, my appraisal came in "magically" at list price, so I had to put down a lot more at close. It was 3 years ago so we've done well regardless. I think you are right, I'm pretty sure the appraisal is just a guess.…
In the simplest terms, Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a script you load on your site that then loads additional (arbitrary) code based on conditions (which are executed client side). In the case of something like GA, let's…
This is a really important point. It can be really helpful to decouple analytics / tracking from the application -- especially in large companies. However you need to fully understand the security implications (don't…
Having a job (which provides for your children) that requires you to be at work at a certain time is poor scheduling?
Symantec – Mountain View, CA -- Principal Front-end Engineer -- Symantec's eBusiness team is rebuilding our global stack with one that relies on modern open source technologies. We do over a billion in revenue online…
Agreed that both presentation styles work. That said, regardless of the "strategy", the delivery needs to be clean to be seen as authoritative (unless a tremendous amount of respect as been pre-built). Imagine your CEO…
Totally agree. The content is great, but the delivery is uncomfortable (both speakers). I stopped watching and just listened. Ultimately, the content is the most important thing and I appreciate the opportunity to…
Awesome work! Will look at replacing some hand rolled stuff internally. One gap I see with a lot of A/B testing analysis is that it only solves for conversion. While conversion is a great metric for many tests, in my…
First post on HN. I'm not entirely sure how the PayPal Node vs. Java message has been packaged, but I think there is a lot of confusion. From my understanding (via blogs and conferences), Node was used to replace Java…
