Age catches up with us all, eventually. A lot of the "be strong" advice is great, for what it's worth, but your body starts to fail as you age.
I feel like regular resistance training has helped me avoid some RSI - probably - but after 40 the injuries just come quicker and the recovery time keeps increasing no matter who you are or what your routine is.
As you get older, you learn the value of these little PT exercises as mentioned in the article. I can't vouch for them all but I do several, as suggested by my physical therapist. And this isn't just for computer use; the "be strong" advocates, as they age, will likely find they need to embrace physical therapy and targeted work on muscles throughout their body if they want to keep up their regular routine, too.
