For one I hate that they sell applications no-one wrote, and then push you to complete it yesterday...

Whenever you come in contact with them, directly or indirectly, just put your fingers into your ears and sing a little. Don't listen to any of their fantasies and just ignore them. Double experience points if you resist the urge to listen when they actually turn up and try to explain to us how to do our jobs.
Ignoring them is not taken as rude, as they have only a loose grasp of reality anyway.

Both are necessary roles in business.... you might not like them, but it's hard for a business to keep a constant stream of work/funds without them. They sell the dream, we make it happen.

Marketing is the skin of your code. So if you hate them your code is misunderstood.

I detest marketing morons because they're so bad at what they do.
They talk about themselves as though they're great persuaders, with silver tongues, who can make customers buy stuff that they don't want; but mainly they're just morons who have no idea how to use words/psychology to convince anyone to do anything, they're just incessant, persistent, un-get-rid-of-able nags, who cling to customers' backs like a sleep-paralysis hag until they sign the bare minimum.
The only thing they seem to be even remotely capable of talking up is themselves.
There are far, far, better ways of doing what they do, and I've lost years of my own lifetime teaching them to do it better (with marked results), only to see them almost immediately fall back into their moronic ways.
Speaking generically, don't waste your time on the bloody morons. Your time is better spent associating with people who have brains in their skulls.

Anyone have any experience with this site?
It seems to be a bit like Quora, but with a "matching" service, theoretically to find people with similar interests or that can be an adviser.

Level 15? What are the requirements? I never thought them to be especially strong, intelligent or wise.

The level rating for marketing executives is scored as 1/level for intelligence and wisdom (hence, the higher you rise, the dumber you become) however their armor class is a multiplier of their level and the corporate share value.

Not very realistic.
Throw a six for "traffic on the M25"? More like "Land on edge (or float and hover, humming gently) for no traffic on M25"

So my Azure credit was $40 and has been raised to $150 per month - and my usage is about $20.
Anyone have any good (legal and a learning experience) ways to use the remainder?

The BOINC platform has dozens of difference projects running on it, so you're free to pick something of interest to you to donate your free processing power towards.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
