Sometimes I feel like programming is physically and mentally designed to create bad health and mood, at least if you’re not very careful about how you’re _being_ while doing it.
Maybe it’s just me, but I have to work hard to avoid:
- Bad posture, hunching towards the monitor
- Scrunching the face
- Feeling impatient because my fingers and the computer can’t keep up with where I am in my mind
- “Damn you, computer!” frustration in small doses throughout
- Frequent interruptions via email, Slack, texts, coworkers, etc
- In some cultures, it’s very hard to have a plan for what to get done in the day and then execute on it due to getting sucked into meetings and stuff.
