I'm a very young programmer. In fact, I haven't even really begun my career, as I'm still in college. Nevertheless, I've been struggling with acute pain in my fingers (tips and joints) during longer typing sessions. I've spent hundreds of dollars on ergonomic equipment like a Herman Miller chairs and a Kinesis Advantage keyboard, and they help a lot (I can't even touch a Macbook keyboard anymore), but they don't do enough. I've also begun to take regular typing breaks and to work out.
Has anyone else dealt with this? What do I do? Do I say 'fuck it' and look to move to less typing intensive roles? I am truly passionate bout code, so I really want to delay that for some time. Do I abandon emacs? ;( I'm at a loss.
