I've been learning web development for the last year and a half, so I am just a beginner. In addition to a different perspective, I have a deep brain science background and I've been practicing Mind&Body systems with ever increasing awareness. For me at least, coding requires this special state of Mind that is the best described as Mindful. If, for various reasons such as bad night sleep, heavy breakfast, heat wave, stress, I loose this state, coding is just an unproductive struggle and pain. I just realized that coding in itself maybe a pure and true Mindfulness practice, or better say, the easiness and smoothness of your coding work is an indicator of Mindful state.
