"Been smoking 20 years, still no lung cancer!" You're only 30. Give it 10 years. Not being snarky, the damage is being done, you're just not at that point yet.

"Been smoking 20 years, still no lung cancer!"
You're only 30. Give it 10 years. Not being snarky, the damage is being done, you're just not at that point yet. 38, been programming since the same age and I'm starting to feel it. Change your habits now and start focusing on ergonomics.
- spullara 5y agoI'm 49, typing for 39 years, nothing yet. Anecdotes don't really help though.
- fortran77 5y agoI'm 59. Been programming most days/week since 1980 or so. And I play the piano 2+ hours/day. No RSI.
- DoreenMichele 5y agoMaybe there's more to RSI than, you know, typing per se.
- heavenlyblue 5y agoExactly the point I was making in the first place.
- ericbarrett 5y agoMid 40s, gaming and programming since I was 6, including FPS and RTS (clickclickclickclick), always QWERTY, no RSI. Biological luck of the draw.
- alar44 5y agoPoint taken, but 30 is very young to be having issues with ergonomic injuries unless you're genetically predisposed to carpel tunnel or tendonitis or something.
