What do I love about coding? and What’s my least favorite part?
My favorite part is the satisfaction of seeing my code “come to life”. The idea that I can write a few lines of code that computers understand, and that so many people can consume and interact with it using various technologies — present and in the future.
I also appreciate the short feedback loop in modern code environments: you write code or make changes to existing one, and see the results immediately in the browser. It is almost magical. And who doesn’t like a little bit of magic in their lives?
My least favorite part, however, is that it requires so little movement. There is life in movement! One of my favorite yoga teachers once said: “Once you stop moving, you start dying.” And I felt that. Spending so much time in front of a screen is very taxing.
Regular exercise is crucial for my ability to continue doing what I do. But I still sometimes feel like I need more movement during my work sessions.
Switching between standing and sitting gives body short “breathers” throughout the day and allows for better blood flow. A balanced lifestyle is crucial to maintaining good health when you spend as much time in front of a screen. Try to move, drink lots of water, and go outside more.
