I recently read a post you made about two years ago where you advocate spending $2K getting set up (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=104977 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=104977). On behalf of everyone you've helped with your responses to these threads, thanks.
Btw, I met you last week at the HN Startup Bootcamp meetup. I remember you vividly because everyone else was like, "Hi, I'm Dan" and you came up and were like, "Hi, I'm mechanical_fish" Ha. I was sitting across from you for a good chunk of it :) Hope your Drupal endeavors are going well.
- mechanical_fish 17y agoI still recommend spending the $2k. If you're in this for a lifetime, $2k every decade or so is nothing. But my experience since that last post has suggested that a lot of ergonomics is about overall health. The guy who advocates moderate weightlifting as the solution is probably on to something. When I'm healthy and well-rested and getting even moderate exercise, I can get away with breaking my own ergonomic rules... by, say, using a laptop for more than fifteen seconds at a time. You can't actually do nothing but sit and type for 14 hours per day, every day, for the rest of your life. All the better reason to make your keyboard hours count. ;)
