(Potato) Chips, Hard Hats, and a Happy New Year
Thu Jan 15 2026
Predictions, resolutions, and more
Happy 2026 everyone! We’re excited to open the show with some exciting news about Hard Hat DAO. We then transition into some new years resolutions, predictions for the tech industry — some of which have already proven true — and then some broader commentary on the state of the world.
Welcome to a new trip around the sun. We’re excited for what the new year brings.
Oh. And we’re not eating chips in 2026. Feel free to join us (or consume on our behalf). And let us know if you think we should avoid fries too.
