Like when people pretended they liked standing desks because they spent $1000 in one. Imagine standing still for eight hours a day.
- option 10y agoAdjustable stand/sit desk with motor is a way to go. Has been common in Microsoft and Apple for years.
- madgar 10y ago> Imagine standing still for eight hours a day. Imagine sitting perfectly still for eight hours a day. I just imagined both, and I preferred the standing still nonsense to the sitting still nonsense.
- sharkweek 10y agoJust to throw it out there, I much prefer sitting at my desk, but I make it a point to spend some time wandering around the office/outside the building for at least a few minutes every hour. I'm also not a developer though, so I don't need to be in focus mode for long periods of time.
- ams6110 10y agoI scoffed at standing desks until my new workspace installed them (the motorized kind, that adjust up or down) and I tried standing for a few days. I found I liked it a lot. I almost never sit at my desk now.
