30 and some years with no issues. I did read a lot about ergonomy of the working place. How to setup desk, monitor, chair, etc. I do take breaks often, not because of the ergonomy, I just like to think while walking around.
To add a new thing... check Powerball, or how are those training balls called today. It should make all your hand stronger and it's fun. Just keep it on the desk

That's impressive! I thought this might be a relatively common issue. I'll check out some training balls options

Don't worry. You'll find a solution. I dont think it's common, but also not uncommon. Actually don't remember any of my programmers complaining too much aboit it. Maybe for a day. It would be resolved by changing hardware, like mouse, chair, keyboard. You just need to experiment and find a cause. I'd bet on a mouse.
But again, nothing can replace training yoir hand. But dont use those squeezing balls, thoe made me nervous :). Power ball is definitely a different kind of ball :)
