The Happiness Algorithm: Building a Rich Life Beyond Code

July 10, 2025 14:50 – 15:20 · 30 min Airstream 2

What this session covers

Tech professionals are often hyper-focused on solving external problems, but what about our own inner “algorithms” for happiness?

In this talk, we’ll explore the Realistic Happiness framework to help developers find fulfillment, balance, and “richness” in life beyond just work.

We’ll dive into actionable steps for developing a personal algorithm for happiness that includes setting boundaries, managing stress, and cultivating connections.

Because happiness isn’t a final destination - it’s a powerful tool.
