Judging from my environment, the only devs that I would actually suggest meditation are the ones with an urgent need to reduce their productivity, work hours, get rid of their micro management obsession and so on.

I've always seen being a dev as something fun and enjoyable without stress or anxiety.

Now if your work environment has too much stress in the air and you are desperate to relax, I would probably look for a different environment.

It depends on the developer. You may be right from your environment Stefanos. Meditation for developers does not mean meditating for hours. Concentration Meditation is all about concentration. Concentration is important for developers. Meditating for 5-10 minutes will be more than enough:so, it will not be a waste of time. As you said, working environment does affect. Adjusting it for a fine way is beneficial too.
As people are different from each other, meditation is a great method for developers who find difficulties as I mentioned in the article.

Thank you very much for commenting.
