Treat Your Body Right

How so many people get injured sitting behind a desk? It’s not like we pull a muscle when trying to lift a heavy line of code or bloody our forehead by whacking into a nasty program fault. Instead, physical injury for programmers is the sum of zillions of small things compounded over time. Repetitive strain and stress-related problems are solvable. Like most problems, they’re best solved before they become a problem. A little bit of attention to the issues now could save us considerable trouble later.
