Agreed; the physicality of writing software is one of the worst aspects of the whole practice. I try to combat this by setting up a problem which I don't yet have a solution for, and then going for a walk to think it over. I think walking for one-on-one meetings is also a useful thing to do. I've wanted for a while now to set up a pull-up bar in my office. I had one before and it was another good way to take a quick break and get the heart rate up.
Has anyone been in an office that had some sort of exercise setup combined with white boards? I often find myself going straight to a white board or notepad after an exercise break.

- Smaug123 8y agoMy cunning idea for stand-ups is to make every participant plank continuously while they're speaking, for a similar reason.
- fjsolwmv 8y agoFor many software devs,standing up is the equivalent of normal people planking.
- lostlogin 8y agoBike meetings solve this problem too.
