Perhaps there are comparisons to be drawn between the two, but I think don't think they should be dependent on set amounts of time doing them: After an hour of coding something, I'm likely to either want to continue hacking on what I started, work on something else, or stop working entirely(rather than presumably continue working with a refreshed mental state..?). Part of meditation is precisely /not/ doing or thinking about anything. As another comment pointed out, this is sort of finding a substitute for meditation in something most of us would likely being doing anyways, since the majority of us have trouble breaking out of our day-to-day cycle to literally sit for 15 minutes and do nothing whilst so much is going on regardless. I think there are similarities to be drawn in terms of "flow" or getting "in the zone" so to speak while writing code, though.
