You Chose Poorly S5E1 - Tech Turns Heel

You Chose Poorly - A Podcast about being wrong

Mikey and Sawyer start the new season with tech news, and it's bleak! It's a politically-charged episode, but tech is politically charged right now. Maybe it always was. We discuss cancelling products and people, what good that seems to do for us, and how to find small victories during tough times.
