Hello and welcome to what is not only the last episode of Tech Won't Save Us for the year, but also episode 200 of the podcast. I did not plan that. It was a total surprise to me

when I looked at the episode number and saw that actually the last episode of the year was also

going to be like a pretty notable milestone. So that's fantastic. Thanks so much for all of your

giveaway where we have five signed copies of Joanne McNeil's book, Wrong Way. You might remember

on the giveaway as well. So with all that said, I hope that you are enjoying the holidays and are

looking forward to, you know, a good new year celebration as we had into 2024. To end off the

year, like we did last year, I wanted to, you know, do something a

little bit different. Instead of just having a conversation with a guest as we usually do, which is,

you know, fantastic, which is great. You all love that. I wanted to, you know, have a few people on to

discuss the year in tech, to discuss, you know, some of the people we liked and didn't particularly like in the
