Twenty years ago, teachers and parents took a lot of effort to keep pupils to sit still. But since then more and more evidence has shown that (too much) sitting is as bad as smoking.
The health benefits are obvious. However, I couldn’t imagine working intensely as a computer programmer for over two decades while standing. I’m sure I would’ve had a lot of trouble concentrating and typing.
this is interesting

I am here wondering if all that standing will not be tiring at some point. I should try standing whenever I am not too busy on my desk
When I am at home, I stand more often than I sit. Tiredness is not something I really complain about.
not a bad idea
I would call this an understatement. Sitting is one of the biggest health risk of modern society.

I know. Code typing is something I usually do sitting as well.
Standing improves the grades and health, it is great! 🙂
