Thank you, 😊 yes this is very important. Also I think we should share this advice to Junior developers who have just started their career, at first they are very excited as a developer and sit long coding, without thinking about the eyes, hip and overall health.

What we can do

  1. Add as advice for Junior Developers on boarding process in all companies.
  2. Stick a sticky note or something near your work-space to advice yourself to take some break.
  3. In dev.to left sidebar tags, add sorted health tag above or below Javascript tag.

Great write up. 👍 👏 👋

Yes! I feel like this is not important for everyone who's starting. Just because when you are starting you want to do everything and be the best fast.

Also I think that companies should help you having burnout in mind and help you have a day off to chill, we used to do that in one of the companies I worked for!

And your ideas are really great, a sticky note saying "don't forget to take water 😛" can really make the difference 🤔
