@ssb Oh! Good for you.

You know, I've read that some people think chairs are bad for people.

I'm so bad at keigo.

@Chocolate I never learned to sit seiza

I always wondered if it was bad for your feet

Wikipedia says "Experienced seiza practitioners can maintain the posture for forty minutes or more with minimal discomfort."

I wonder if it would be bad for my knees... My family has bad knees

If I try sitting with pressure on my feet like that I get toe cramps... But I'm probably doing it wrong.

I grew up sitting on the floor but not seiza, more like cross-legged (what we called "Indian-style")

Yeah, those are neat.

I mean, in theory. I've never seen a treadmill desk.

Standing desks were around 10-15 years ago at least.

I've read that stuff about sitting being bad for you generally.

The stuff about other types of sitting besides in a chair being better for you were based on different ideas

What I think is actually true (ergonomically, that is) is moving around a lot is good for you, not staying in any one position.

That's a neat idea.

My old office used to be directly next to the bay trail, and I went for walks every day

It's a little less convenient here, although I can of course find places to walk.

I did a lot of my best coding in my head while I was outdoors. Being outdoors in a wide open space seems to put me in a better headspace for solving problems

These days I don't spend nearly enough time outside
