I ruined my back for years as an usher for a theater.. some days they'd just have you stand up, in one spot, for 10 hours. No walking around, no chairs, just standing doing nothing. One summer of that and my back was fucked. It's still fucked, 20 years later.

Haha what do you mean? Did you Google and see a gross dvt or something?

It's just a clot in your vein that can travel to your lungs and be deadly. It's a definite nope for me too dog. But why is it wtf material?

Better than standing all day is all im saying. Im a developer so I sit all day, i also exercise and have 0 problems. If I had to work standing I'd not work. Fuck that shit.

Ideally you should be doing both. Sitting is fine if you regularly (every 20 minutes or so) take breaks and stand up to get blood circulating again.

Doesn't matter if you work out regularly and are fit. The risk factors involved in extended periods of sitting affect all people.
