Excited to be able to share my talk on how I've been dealing with fatigue! It's by far my most personal talk ever 🫣 but I really wanted to share my experience in the hopes that it may help some others too 💚 I think this is something we should be talking about more so lmk if you relate 🫶

When your creative spark is dull, you may start doing more to find it. But even with work life balance, being active, and socializing with community, burnout can still hit. @emaudible.bsky.social shares how she's learning to listen to herself in this brilliant talk www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPUa...

What a start! Day 1 at #GGJVancouver2026 was a total blast of creativity!! The energy in the room was so focused yesterday. From the moment the theme was revealed, we saw notebooks filling up, teams bonding over dinner from the food trucks, and the first lines of code being written.

- Other Lots: While there are parkades to the east, we can't guarantee they are public on the weekend. Sticking to the underground is your safest and closest bet! 🅿️ If you have any trouble accessing the parking, please contact John, and he’ll get you sorted!
