The Angrydome has always been an in joke with friends about where I’d go to share my opinions on tech, business, and systems engineering in general. The dot com was available just as the pandemic started so I snapped it up. I think most technological solutions address one part of a problem and think they undervalue the human and social components that are involved.

No one reads docs.
Nothing is intuitive, it is only familiar.
Your software is successful because it’s the least worst option, not the best.
Stay humble.
