As developers, we spend a lot of time sitting at our desks.

Good sitting posture improves blood flow, keeps your nerves & blood vessels healthy, & supports your muscles, ligaments & tendons.

🧵 Try out these tips to get you sitting correctly at your desk:
🖥️ Monitors

The top of your screens should be at or just below eye level.

Tilting the monitor back 10° to 20°, our eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the screen to promote a healthy sitting position.
🤷‍♂️ Shoulders

Your shoulders should be relaxed and positioned low.

Try to be aware of them rising towards your ears or rounding forward throughout the working day.

Doing so will also ensure you maintain contact between your back and the seat.
💪 Lower Arms

Your lower arms should rest parallel to the floor at 90°.

They should also rest on support (desk or pad) rather than being held up which ensures a neutral wrist position whilst typing.
⌨️🖱️ Keyboard & Mouse

You should be able to control your keyboard and mouse easily with arms bent at the elbow.

To promote this position, sit an arm's length away from your monitor and tilt the keyboard back 10° so that your wrists stay flat.
🦵🦶 Legs & Feet

Your thighs should be slightly below horizontal to the ground whereby your hips are slightly higher than your knees.

Keep your feet flat on the floor or slightly raised using a footrest.

Make sure that there's enough space for your feet, knees, and thighs.
Essentially, computing comfort starts with paying attention to your body’s experience.

Relax eyes, wrists and hands.
Take quick, regular breaks.
Improve blood circulation.
Put minimal stress on your body.

Your body will thank you!

🧵Design Tips for Developers 🧵

With so much to learn, design is easy to neglect but learning a few basic design principles is a great investment for any developer.

Apply the following to your own projects to make a huge visual difference 👇

Color

Keep it simple. Color should be used sparingly to highlight important information and CTAs.

For the rest of your site, use a color generator. They follow WCA Guidelines and provide thousands of beautiful color schemes to choose from.
Typography

Keep fonts legible and appropriate for the style of communication. Sometimes using a combo of two sans-serif system fonts is enough, improves loading times and removes the hassle of importing fonts.

For everything else, Google Fonts has you covered!
