I (30m) had only just graduated university (Master of Information Technology, majoring in Software Engineering) when (due to my desk setup that was not ergonomic, sleep position, and other factors) I was hit with an ulnar nerve nerve injury which left me unable to use the computer. It took me six months to recover, and in that time I had to give up my gym habit, all video games, looking for work. I was lucky it happened to me then, and not now. I have a mortgage, and my wife and I are planning children. I can't have this happen again in the future.

The best thing I ever did was get a really good ergonomic chair after this for A$700.
