Meditation in JVM

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve noticed something many times: after a busy programming day at work, my mind feels cloudy, full, and overloaded. I take some time to sit right after work. After a meditation session, the mind feels clean and fresh again. Java Garbage Collectors work for my applications; meditation works for my mind. I couldn’t help but notice the parallel: meditation is to the mind what a garbage collector is to the JVM.

It is not just another morning, it is just a morning. Is it even? Morning. What is it? Words are thieves. They steal what is.

Üç Şarkılık Yolum

Wed, 23 Sep 2015 01:41:30 +0000

Kulaklığı taktım, çantayı omzuma attım, kapıyı kapıtıp çıkıyorum. Yurdun çıkışına doğru yürürken koridordaki boy aynasında kendime bakıyorum. Eh fena değilim. Hemen onun üstünde 08:45 olan digital saate bakıyorum. Geç kalmamışım tam zamanında. Anahtarı resepsiyona bırakıp çıkıyorum.
