Reminder that in Canada upon becoming an engineer you get an iron ring made of a collapsed bridge, purposely designed to be uncomfortable, to remind you that your ethics demand you give a fuck even about the boring grudgework of such as double-checking your math. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring

Tanya explores an intersection of cozy production, professional care, accessibility, and shared responsibility. Journaling away from a screen can help with self actualization and seeing the bigger picture. Bookmark some of these prompts to try them for yourself! #gamedev #GDoCExpo2026

3.2. Journal prompt: goal-setting
A sample set of production journal prompts (~20-30 min):
1. What is your primary goal next week?
2. What is something you can make the most progress in within 25 min?
3. What are some challenges, concerns, or limitations I should make space for?
4. What are you feeling grateful for the last few months?
5. What is your primary goal for the rest of this year?
Try: When doing the Pomodoro technique of 25 min of work followed by 5 min of break, write down and actualize what you will successfully complete within that time.

Across the US, workers are souring on AI. The tech industry has insisted that AI would make workers’ lives easier and more productive, that the more people understood and used AI, the more they would like it. Something closer to the opposite has happened.

Why office workers are turning against AI

Whether or not you like AI at work ultimately boils down to a question of power.

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

The last 14 months have been some of the hardest times in my life with so much chronic pain. Although I've recovered some and I have new strategies to work with my disabilities, I continue to put time & money into medical. Your support means the world to me and help me with life-affirming therapies!

If given the opportunity in the future, I would love to focus the workshop to ages 16+ and delve more deeply into topics such as the psychological burden and labour challenges due to non-consensual G/en-AI use, and other impacts on our creative output such as mental health, disability, and burnout.

I think the really insidious part of AI is that by using it in education, kids waste time by not learning, but thinking that they've learned. It's delusional study, and it doesn't advance their education. They'll be dependent on AI and trapped in poverty forever.
