Once a group of students from nearby UCI were touring our co-working space as part of some kind of conference. One student asked me a question I'd never been asked before: what are the occupational hazards of the programming profession? I had a ready answer for him: depression, social isolation, and physical atrophy due to long hours spent sitting still. He said I was the first person with a real answer to that question. Everyone else just brushed it aside since our profession does not involve working with heavy machinery or toxic chemicals or anything else you'd normally associate with risk.
