I recently asked about one of the side effects of coding for extended periods of time — pain in the fingers, hands and wrists. I could barely type at all when I wrote it.
I was really surprised at the quality of the comments, some really nice advice on how to fix or improve the situation and also how to prevent it from happening. I’m not recommending the post itself; but the comments section is golden in my opinion!

I’m so grateful for this community. The positivity and solidarity in here is probably what has kept me going when it all gets tough. Thanks for being a part of it too!

Thanks for the link! Great question, too, as it's something every single one of us needs to be mindful of. Our bodies were not exactly designed for this work, so active health is super important.

People really did have a lot to say, there - saving it for reference!
