- kingkongrevenge 18y ago> It's not something to skimp on. Why not? I sit in a cheap chair. It's fine. I worked for a few weeks in a cheap director's chair once. It was fine; perfectly comfortable.
- alabut 18y agoYeah I've been doing fine with my $25 Costco folding chair - I just threw a soft couch pillow on the seat and try to remember to sit up straight. I think an Aeron could actually be annoying on a hardwood floor like I have at home, with the coaster wheels on the feet sliding all around.
- alabut 18y agoI should clarify where I got "the Paul Graham route" from: somewhere in the Hackers & Painters book, he wrote about how cheap they were in the beginning of Viaweb, with him coding in an old chair that was falling apart. Sorry I don't have a link, google's giving me no love.
