Interesting take, I love it. That said - do people play piano for 6-8h a day? Or, knowing piano players and their … let’s say “determination”: after how many hours do your arms get tired?
- occamrazor 3y agoProfessional pianist practice hours every day. The main differences in posture, compared to an office chair, are: 1. A flat seat, without back 2. No wrist support.
- bbor 3y agoYou raise good points, and just showed me what my fallback career should be: Herman Miller salesperson targeting just professional musicians. Proper ergonomics is going to blow their minds! The people who want orchestras to look they did in 1700s Austria will just have to get over it
- NineStarPoint 3y agoYou have to gain a habit of holding your body and hands very specifically at a piano to not gain an rsi (which at the beginning does make you more tired, but like anything else you gain the needed muscles over time if you stick with it). Most people aren't that careful with their keyboard positioning and how they hold themselves while typing, so I do have to wonder if there's more to be done on the human side even with an unoptimized keyboard layout.
- url00 3y agoDo you constantly type for 6-8h a day? Surely even the most dedicated typists aren't going to spend all day constantly mashing on keys.
- bbor 3y agoVery fair. I suppose writing code is more like composing piano music than practicing it
