Most people tend to get RSI when they first he very active in computer work,and after a year or so they find a healthy posture and their hands strengthen and it isn't an issue.
This article seems like a gimmick by someone who wants to be special instead of using perfectly effective solutions. Or it is a joke.
- melling 12y agoDo you have any references to back up this statement? From everything that I've read, it'e incorrect. Take these well-known programmers: http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_hand_pain_celebrity.html http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_hand_pain_celebrity.html
- jakobegger 12y agoI think it's pretty presumptuous to claim that this person is suffering from RSI and should just "find a healthy posture". There are very many causes for wrist pain, ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome to osteoarthritis. A bad posture might contribute to wrist pain, but even the best posture won't cure someone suffering from gout. The author hasn't shared the reason for her wrist pain, most likely because she doesn't know the reason herself. She knows that her wrists hurt when she uses them too much. Please don't belittle other people's ways of coping with imperfections.
- andyfleming 12y agoNot defending the original commenter, but to be fair, she did mention RSI specifically in the article. I'd somehow managed to complete my first project course without making my RSI worse
- jakobegger 12y agoThe way I understood the story was that she didn't know what the problem with her hands was, but she called it RSI for lack of a better word. I didn't read that line as stating she was actually diagnosed with RSI. But even if she had meant it that way, it's still presumptuous to claim a better posture would cure her.
