I'm 2 years into a software engineer position and now I'm getting fat, I'm tired all the time, and my back and neck are always in pain. The body was not built to work at a desk every day. Are there any better alternatives?

[Anonymous No.22309292]

start focusing on your health, and get /fit lad
Unless your job is literally shoveling food down your throat, there is no excuse to be fat

Also if you are coding so much that your neck and back hurt, you might be coding too much.

get a standing desk to help with your back and neck pain. dev money is good but it is soul crushing work. start working on an exit plan, you dont want to code for the rest of your life.

I'm a dev and think this sentiment is ridiculous. I've worked soul crushing work, in a warehouse and a hotel kitchen while in school. THAT is awful, soul crushing work that wagies do as adults. Dev work is just work like any other, it's tedious, but it pays well and is comfy. I would never want to go back into labor.

Look into becoming an ex-programmer like seemingly everyone else these days.

I'm hoping to transition out with a combo of SWE salary + crypto + own business (this one is not an active pursuit rn).

He said to craft an exit plan, not stumble into an Amazon wharehouse. Comparing SWE against your previous shit gigs isn't the argument

I built a standing desk with a solid slab of wood and a base I bought on Amazon for like $250. 10/10 would recommend, altho I need to get another chair because mine is a bit too short

Get a standing desk. It's a game changer.

This. in the meantime you might want to check if your monitors are at a proper height for you.

[Anonymous No.22311010]

Lol everyone saying standing desk, yeah so you can stand un even for hours on 1 leg or leaning slightly..your back will be just as rekt if you cant learn how to sit down properly for long periods of time.

just go to the gym regularly and lift. i got fat in my second year too (added 50 pounds to my normal weight) but I've since gone back down thanks to COVID forcing me to cook more and being more diligent about going to the gym 3 times a week

[Anonymous No.22311745]

>>22308867
Take walks often and stretch. You'll also need to start going for runs after work or the gym. See if your job will get you a standing desk too (one that can be sitting or standing). Gives you a change at least.

fat people have back problems

[Anonymous No.22311842]

I mitigate this with: (a) a standing desk that can easily toggle between sitting and standing (b) a treadmill 5 feet away from my desk (c) a weight bench 5 feet away from my desk. Make it a habit to use both daily and alternate sitting/standing throughout. I'm in my 40s and have never been in better shape.

Go to the gym at lunch.
It'll help you stop being stressed at work. If you've just deadlifted 200kg and your boss gives you shit you're too tired to care lol

Just work out a few times a week. Ignore the retards spreading the standing desk meme, you literally just have to work out ever and you'll be fine

dont listen to these uneducated faggots the research is already done standing desks are a fucking meme.
Buy a good office chair instead (Herman Miller for example) and not some ripoff gaymer chair, and remember to take regular short breaks walk around stretch your legs throughout the day.

You can literally work coding like 5-6 hours straight - 2 hours exercise - 1 hour eating - another 5-6 hours - long +1 hour walk

Not saying this is ideal existence, but you don't get some fucked up back pains. You getting fat is all about your diet, not because of software engineering. You just literally need to exercise
