Show Notes
In this fascinating episode, get ready to geek out with Lindsay Tabas, a technologist also known as The Lady Engineer®. Lindsay and I have some great discussion around why technology works against us instead of for us. I only make a few diversions...like why that red button requires a new security architecture.
