Mind monkey is a Buddhist term meaning (amongst other things) "restless, uncontrollable".
About me
My name is Robin Roestenburg. I'm a boyfriend, dad and software engineer (Ruby, Java) from the Netherlands.
I have a monkey mind, and I feed it by reading, practicing and blogging about new (to me anyway) things related to programming and software development.
