       Ask HN: Any learning resources or hype materials for project
       management?
        
       My role is software engineer but lately I've been taking on more PM
       responsibilities. Are there any good online communities, learning
       resources, or PM hype materials to get me excited about this stuff?
       Right now I am reading "head first pmp" to get me started
