I don’t know when programmers have become a synonym for rich and handsome.

That programmers are losers? Low status?

Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, programmer; Ma Huateng, Li Yanhong, Zhang Xiaolong, programmers! This is the time when programmers can change the world!

Programmers are code farmers? Live more and pay less?

After 3-5 years of work, more than 90% of programmers earn more than 10,000 yuan a month, and more than 1/6 of them earn 300,000 to 500,000 yuan a year. Envy not envy?

But it is true that programmers live more with more work.

Sedentary overtime, poor health

If you’re a programmer, I’m happy to say, “Overtime is your bond, in sickness and in pain, in life and in death.”

More than 30 percent of programmers work more than 50 hours a week, according to the 2018 Chinese Programmers Research Report.

Generally speaking, there are two situations when programmers work overtime:

1, company requirements, boss requirements, project requirements. The code is not finished, the bug is not finished, and the product will be launched soon, you can not work overtime? Some even joked that if you leave work on time every day, you will be fired

This is common, and what’s new is that programmers are now voluntarily breaking their own weekly hours records, purely for fun.

2. Love for the IT industry and professional anxiety.

An article on the CSDN website has attracted nearly 10,000 followers. Programmers suffer from something called impostor syndrome. People with this condition often find that all the programmers they work with are smarter and more talented than they are.

They think they need to work harder to be good enough, which means spending more time studying, taking on more project development, and even taking less time off.

No matter passively accept, or actively learn, the final result may be only one: physical health problems.

The physical health of programmers is not as good as that of other professional groups. According to the report, 63.3% of the programmers surveyed have some sub-health symptoms, the highest in all industries.

On Zhihu, a question about programmers’ occupational diseases has attracted more than 400,000 onlookers, among which cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae are the required answers. Why is that?

Sit too long!

Due to the nature of the work, programmers have to deal with the computer every day, long sitting, plus the sitting position is not correct, causing programmers cervical vertebra lumbar vertebrae are generally bad!

According to data from a rehabilitation medicine study, the lumbar spine is stressed 270 percent when sitting forward compared to when standing.

Sitting is accompanied by lowering the head, which puts heavy pressure on the cervical spine.

And sedentary lack of exercise, will undoubtedly increase the odds of obesity. Cervical spondylosis and being overweight were the top three health problems for programmers, according to the report.
