#097 - Coding with mindfulness
from Pybites Podcast Hosted by Julian Sequeira & Bob Belderbos
Welcome back to the Pybites podcast. This week we have Andrew McLeod on the show to talk about mindfulness. We talk about: - Mindfulness as it applies to the tech industry and why it’s important to humanise tech. - How mindfulness humanises. - How to be more aware of different parts of the body - as opposed to only thought. - The trap of trying to use mindfulness to fix problems that require action (eg mindfulness will make you aware you are hungry, it won’t resolve the issue) - How mindfulness can help with emotional intelligence (including in the context of code reviewing). - How mindfulness and emotional intelligence can help relating with peers and improve team performance. Books: - The Miracle Of Mindfulness - Chief Joy Officer - McMindfulness Courses: - MBSR course with certification - MBSR course (without certification - free) - A significantly longer course, both of these teachers are excellent Other resources: - The guy that 'brought mindfulness to the west' - Tara Brach's work - Mindful code reviews: part 1 and part 2 We hope you enjoy this episode! To reach out to Andrew, you can do so: - On LinkedIn - On our Slack - On Instagram
