... why not? What if nothing else works?
> But however you slice it, you cannot get past this one fact: it is an unnatural thing to sit in front of a glowing box for 4, 6, 8 hours a day pecking on little things with your fingers. This type of work has never existed before in the history of our species, and we were not made to do it. I think that's why we have to be very careful not just about the amount of time we code, but all the other things that go with it.
Agriculture and medicine are unnatural too. So are exercise machines, standing desks, and memory foam beds. So are books, ships, planes, trains, and bicycles. So is math - thinking about math is very unnatural.
