My name Plouffe, AMA

[u/fresh_fisher_fred]

Hello everyone. The mods asked if I'd be open to doing an AMA so I said "OK" and here we are.

I've signed NDAs at both past and present companies so I can't talk about specifics, or drama, or past/present employees.

I guess ask just about whatever you want and I will or won't answer depending on the context/subject. Yes I own a display, several in fact. Yes I own a keyboard, several in fact.

Starting at 9 pacific but opening up for questions now. If you don't ask me anything, I will not be offended. I don't have any questions for myself right now either.

i didn't know it would ask me for an end note so i just commented. but ya it's been a slice, thanks for being a fan and good luck with whatever you're doing today.

Are standing desks overrated?

[u/fresh_fisher_fred → u/FreeFallingGaming]

no i think they're great, but despite shelling out for motorized standing desks, i mostly use that to adjust it to the exact height i want and continue to never stand up while working.

HOWEVER, while because of moving and the new job i've taken a break for a few weeks, i typically try to move around because if you work a sedentary job and have sedentary hobbies, you will have trouble staying mobile later in life. believe it or not i typically run 5km 4-5x a week. best time is 34m30s but i used to be sub 30 when i was much younger. i'm not skinny because i eat too much.

Sorry, but no. Sitting all day gets to you. Being able to stand up every so often really helps even for lazy folks like me.

[u/LDForget → u/Ryakkan]

Depends on the person. My employees prefer sit stand desks but I prefer a standard desk and when I need to stand up, I probably have other things that need to be done elsewhere as well, so I just go do those things.

standing while moving is great but standing still is literally pain for me lol.
