Before one studies Zen, mountains are mountains and waters are waters; after a first glimpse into the truth of Zen, mountains are no longer mountains and waters are no longer waters; after enlightenment, mountains are once again mountains and waters once again waters.

Before enlightenment coding is logic.

After a first glimpse it’s all about structure and architecture.

After enlightenment, coding is logic again.
