And at this point I’m starting to see that for long term health reasons there is basically nobody except those with specific injuries that should be sitting for hours at a desk. I used to get some back and neck pain on occasion and now that I’ve switched to standing at my desk and finding a monitor height that is optimal for my posture (the standard recommendation by most ergonomic standards caused odd compensation for me) I’m healthier overall than I was 10 years ago. There’s almost no reason to sit except to take a quick break.

I’ve even stopped driving as much after I noticed that my back is a bit stiffer from road trips.
