What in the tech hell?

What in the tech hell?

By: Simone Lima

Technology shapes our world, and yet most of us have no idea how it is made. And that matters, especially when we seem to be heading into a future of dystopian novels.

My name is Simone and I've spent most of my career in tech facilitating conversations between engineers and users of tech products, to build solutions that solve real problems. That’s what I’m bringing into podcast format: conversations with friends, some who build tech and some who just get to experience it in their daily lives, about why technology exists, what problems it is solving and where it’s headed.

In What in the tech hell? we will try to demystify, together, what has become of our tech landscape, and how we can build better tech solutions for ourselves, the planet in which we live, and our communities.

  • What in the tech hell? - Intro
    Apr 15 2026

    It’s not you, it’s tech.

    Technology shapes our world, and yet most of us have no idea how it is made. And that matters, especially when we seem to be heading into a future of dystopian novels.

    I've spent most of my career in tech facilitating conversations between engineers and users of tech products, to build solutions that solve real problems. That’s what I’m bringing into podcast format: candid conversations with friends in and outside of the tech industry, about why technology exists, what problems it is solving and where it’s headed.

    In What in the tech hell? we will try to demystify, together, what has become of our tech landscape, and how we can build better tech solutions for ourselves, the planet in which we live, and our communities.
