Tech Tarot Cards
A deck for the age of agents, scaling laws, and context windows. Not mysticism — pattern recognition dressed in symbolism.
A deck for the current moment
Tech Tarot is not fortune-telling. It is a structured way to externalize the patterns, tensions, and archetypes that govern building, funding, and shipping in the age of frontier models.
Each card names a force that is currently shaping (or quietly destroying) projects, companies, and careers. Use it alone, with a team, or as a prompt generator before making a hard call.
Visionary drive. The spark that starts something from nothing. Risk everything on a belief.
Everything that fits in one pass. The sacred limit that forces clarity and compression.
More compute, more intelligence. The beautiful, terrifying predictability of progress.
Autonomy emerging from loops. Tool use as the new cognition. The system that acts.
Sacred redirection. Killing your darlings before they kill you. New life from old data.
Defensibility that compounds. Data, network, brand, or pure weirdness no one can copy.
Capital as fuel. The beautiful violence of spending to learn faster than anyone else.
The clean break. Liquidity as validation or escape hatch. The story that ends well.
Pattern recognition, not mysticism
The original tarot was a card game that later became a tool for reflection. Tech Tarot follows the same path but starts from the opposite direction: it takes the real, recurring dramas of the industry and gives them symbolic weight.
When you draw The Burn reversed while staring at your runway, the card doesn't tell you something new. It gives the situation a name you can carry into the next conversation with your cofounders or your board.
Imported from bretkerr/techtarotcards. A living deck. Cards and meanings will evolve with the industry.
