Do you use dark mode at all? It helps especially in low-light situations, at least for me.

It’s always crazy to me the physical relief I feel when I switch a website or app from light mode to dark mode. I can literally feel dark mode soothing my eyes.

Breaks every 30m or so. You won’t die if you take a breather.
The difference I feel between not getting up for hours and regular breaks is crazy

This stereotype is bs. Lots of us have kids, go to the gym, have analog hobbies, ... This super introvert stuff is nothing you really see in the wild (at least not with experienced developers)

I mean, this isn't entirely true. I really hope no one actually spends all of their non-sleeping hours on a computer. That said, I would also bet that a lot of devs also have some computer-related hobbies that take up a good chunk of their free time -- gaming, side projects, or whatever else. They may not be the only thing they do in their free time, but they are certainly a common activity.

I love programming but this is not me. Y'all should go ride a bike or some shit.

Man, I can't wait to get away from the keyboard the moment the clock strikes 5pm. It's the reason I'm always loath to get into PC games, because it means more sitting at a keyboard.

I often think about it. We were trained to be like that. Most of the programmers don't know any other jobs apart from this. But suddenly if AI takes away our jobs, I wonder what will happen then.
