What Does a Coder Do If They Can't Type?
Could it be that the nature of your day to day programming workload has an impact on your susceptibility to RSI?My current project is full stack dev almost exclusively in Typescript, and I find myself actually hands-on-keyboard typing for much less than half of an average workday.  The rest of the time, I'm reading (documentation, library code, blogs / presentations / etc) or debugging.  Granted, I drive the debugger with keyboard shortcuts but surely keeping one hand on F8-12 and pressing a key every once in a while is less of a risk than prolonged full-keyboard touch typing.My last gig saw me spending a lot of time writing server-side Java and maintaining the systems it ran on via SSH.  More active typing, less reading, mousing, etc.  It's just one data point, but I definitely had to take more steps to avoid wrist pain then than I do now.I wonder if risk could scale inversely with the level of language you use.  I imagine it most pronounced among kernel hackers who spend their whole day writing hundreds of lines of C, debugging in an editor subshell, hands never leaving the keyboard -- Real Coders Don't Use The Mouse, after all.  Is this crazy?
