I've been programming professionally for only 5 years or so. I often feel sluggish after work, and I think it's connected to how long I sit without moving. Now I try to do something physical every hour, and I've been feeling more energized.

We (LinkedIn below) are building a Slack app to enable working teams to be active together. The teams using our Slack app are on fire so far!

We're wondering: can we hijack the shift to remote work to build new habits and work culture?

Also: what negative effects have you noticed from a shift to remote work, and how do you counteract them?

We were working together on my first job. This started with an hour glass; our team did pushups every hour. At my next job, I had the whole company doing it. We are now replicating this remotely with https://slack.com/apps/A0125LGRVEZ-pushupbot


realYitzi we use whatever we have donated. So far, that has been mostly laptops.


This is accurate. I was there. My name is Tyler, and I help install Linux and content on the machines. If you have content, routers or ethernet cable, please reach out! <mailto: techlit.africa@gmail.com >
