Clear mind, clean code

The most valuable asset a coder has is a clear mind. But the pressures of coding can make us feel like we have the busiest mind in the world. I know this feeling so well!

I’ve spent years of my coding career undermined by self-doubt. I’ve felt like a complete fraud, out of my depth, like I’d be caught out at any moment – that I just wasn’t a good enough programmer…

I’ve burnt out more than once. The stresses and strains of continuous delivery demands, the feelings that I might be left behind by this ever changing industry.

I’ve spend countless frustrating nights staring at code, wondering what the hell is wrong, knowing it’s my fault but not having a clue what to do…

It’s lead me on a multi-year journey into the depths of my own mind.

Too much stress can ruin a coder’s clarity. Mindfulness meditation is a science backed practice that helps you to manage stress, work with difficult emotional states (like burnout, frustration, impostor syndrome and more).

I've been writing code professionally for 18 years. I've hired and run software teams, seen start-ups become grownups, coached agile times, and then some. If you're building software, there's a way I can help, even if it's just some friendly advice.
