So they say that sitting too much shortens your life and all that. They also say that most of us sit incorrectly. I know I do. I constantly slide my butt forward and slouch. And I was thinking, what I need is a seat belt to keep me from sliding forward. But such a thing doesn’t seem to exist. There must be some problem with them that I am missing. Since Lemmy has lots of desk jockeys, I figured I would ask here.

    Yeah, possibly on the core muscles stuff. But the shoulder and neck pain is getting really bad. In theory I would be able to loosen the belt a bit so that it isn’t holding me up, just “reminding” me to keep my butt back in the chair where it belongs. I have tried yoga balls and a variety of chairs that are supposed to “force” you to sit up right. I always managed to end up in an even worse posture whenever I got deeply into the code.

      I feel you. Sometimes I think I can’t properly debug unless I’m leaning into the monitor

      This indicates that something is wrong with your posture in general.

      Find a specialist (maybe chiropractor or osteopathic) who can help you to fix that.
