Sure devving is hard! I've most certainly had my share of ~100 hour weeks, no doubt they are horrific! They ruin you! (My partner doesn't enjoy them either :P) And I'm sure whatever crazy devving sessions I've endured, they are but a drop in the ocean compared to what people a required to pull off when they are taking the first steps in a start-up.
However it’s actually a topic that my best mates and I talk about quite often! How lucky we are that we can sit in our air condition offices all day, drinking coffee straight from a coffee machine, with our nice 26” LCDs, a plant beside us and our high back chairs... While others we grew up with come home wire sore backs, sun burnt, trash hands that just constantly hurt. Heck quite a few have even lost fingers. Sure our computer jobs can be stressful but that’s why we do it, for the kick, we have the drive, we love the challenge.
Yea no shit nobody on here digs fence posts... they wouldn't be bloody winging about sitting in a chair all day if they did ahahah. Surely some of you have had ACTUAL REAL, physically hard jobs in the past? While putting yourselves through university or the like? I had some SHOCKING jobs going through uni from kitchen hand to digging bores/water holes on farm land in outback Australia. Maybe that’s where my appreciation of what a physically intensive job means, stems from?
My point is.. How lucky are we!?!
Anways, watch me get down voted to hell because this isn't what others want to hear about our 'precious lifestyle'. But I fail to understand how your body can get SORE from sitting in a cushy chair for 15 hours a day ... !? WTF!
Is this a joke? How old are you? You're feeling tired and injured using a computer? WTF?
Imagine you had a real labour intensive job, rather than our soft, easy, cushy 'jobs'...
Imagine digging fence post holes all day, trenches, laying bricks, anything else really!
Wow what a pathetic, meek, frail society we have become where people wing about how hard it is to sit on your ass all day long!
Edit: I guess I should add... sure I can understand mental fatigue; sometimes we work with mind numbing, brain twisting complexities. But that just means you should go make a coffee, go for a 15 min walk by the river, whatever.
But physically, if you're saying 'computing' is hard... surly this is a joke/troll ... !?
