Look to the East my brethren! Get a kneeling bench or meditation cushion set, buy a bench from Ikea, put your computer on it and get to work.
This goes even better with an external ergonomic keyboard like the Kinesis and a height adjustable laptop stand clamped to the bench.

- senorsmile 9y agoI really like this idea. I have struggled with back and neck issues for a long time. I think I shall have to try this. Btw, that thinkpad looks exactly like my p51s.
- taohansen 9y agoIt’s a P50! No kidding, I’ve struggled with the same my whole life. Got into Olympic lifting, saw chiropractors, osteopaths: moving to sit on the floor was the only thing that saved me. My Keybase is linked in my profile if you have any questions!
- graeme 9y agoDo you kneel or sit cross legged?
- taohansen 9y agoI alternate throughout the day. You will need to if you are just starting out. Both postures encourage the lengthening of independent muscle groups. In this previous comment [1] I list a cushion and bench you may use for either style! [ 1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15737443 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15737443
