I've been programming for ~20 years and I sit very slouched, with my butt resting at the at very forward lip of my chair.
This is very comfortable and relaxed and puts no pressure on my back at all. I keep my monitor high up so my head is elevated. If the need arises, I can do this for 12 hours a day without being uncomfortable or sore at all by the evening.
Sitting ramrod straight in the proper "ergonomic" position seems like a disaster waiting to happen. It's super uncomfortable and stresses my back, my arms, my neck.
- aradox66 3y agoSitting on the front edge of a chair with your head elevated is the exact instructions for how to sit ergonomically. The spine is naturally quite curved in its proper "stacked" position, and it's easy to get it wrong and overstrain if you're going for something like "ramrod straight"
