Mindfulness for software developers.
“The wisest one-word sentence? Breathe.” – Terri Guillemets
Nerdful Mind has been a weekly digest of articles around mindfulness, psychology, and software engineering principles.
My focus has shifted to my DevOps agency Mannes Developments [DE]. We're all about designing robust cloud architecture, streamlining CI/CD pipelines, and implementing Infrastructure as Code. Need a hand with your project? Get in touch. We're happy to help!
Hi, I'm Simon Mannes 👋
(That was Simon Menssen before I married in Oktober 2020)
I'm a software engineer living in Augsburg, Germany with my wife.
On this blog (and newsletter) I'm sharing my mindfulness journey, which began ten years ago with meditation, and is now complemented by Yoga, martial arts, dancing, and journaling.
I started Nerdful Mind as a newsletter in January 2020 as a way to share what I've learned, document my journey, and maybe help others on theirs.
What I didn't know back then how much writing helps me on a personal level.
UPDATE: as of January 2023, this project is on pause.
Here's a short list of people and products that massively influenced my life for the better:
- Headspace, the popular meditation app
- Zenhabits, a wonderful blog about mindful living
- My wonderful wife, who I learn from every day
- Many books and countless blog posts on psychology, personal development, and mindfulness
- My Yoga, martial arts, and dancing teachers (and partners)
