I stopped the RSI pain that almost destroyed my programming career (2016)

You know what&#x27;s strange? I recall living through the 90s and the utter panic experienced by people like me, that CTS was going to destroy our livelihoods. My sister attained a dual college degree late in life, landed a cool job, and within a couple of years she was on permanent disability due to CTS, and other wrist issues.<p>But I&#x27;ve somehow been immune to injury and debilitating ailments like that. I&#x27;ve used keyboards since 1986, 30 WPM at the outset and worked up to 100 WPM consistently. I&#x27;ve used computers in my career, hobbies, and recreation time, practically every waking hour, say 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. Plus the one-hand mousing for decades (I tried left-hand mousing for a while, just to mix it up.)<p>Lately I&#x27;ve been embracing voice dictation to good effect, and the recognition is approaching a usable level, but only for ordinary text entry. If I were compelled to write code, or issue UI commands via voice... ouch!<p>Today I suffer from a lot of chronic pain, joint aches, stiffness and cramps, but it&#x27;s generalized, and not yet debilitating on any given day. I have more trouble walking and carrying loads than typing. I feel like it&#x27;s miraculous that injury hasn&#x27;t slowed me down yet. I&#x27;ve never had a significant ergonomic setup, good posture or technique. I wish someone would study me and find out my secrets.
