The Nonintuitive Bits
Two and a half engineers, three different viewpoints. At the intersection of technology, business, gaming and psychology, get a second opinion about the issues of the day in the tech industry. Each opinion is held only the host sharing it (and not by our employers). *Warning:* The host may no longer hold that opinion by the end of the episode.
