My hands shiver after 6-7 hours of straight coding. Anyone experiencing something similar ?

    How hard do you press those keys? What keyboard is this?

    I get in a dreamlike state and can’t talk properly.

    Not the same thing, but coding in a cold room for extended periods makes my fingers numb and stiff for a while afterwards.

    6-7 hours of coding, or 6-7 hours of drinking things with caffeine in it?

    @brahn not a lot of difference in both statements, is it caffeine ?

    I do this at work and add at least 3 hours afterwards.

    I use a kitchen table as a desk, so there 's lots of space to put my arms at rest.

    If there's no space to lay down my arms, it'll happen that the corner shuts of something and then I get shivers, sleepy hands or uncontrollable movements.

    So, I reckon you need more working ...

    Caffeine overdose?

    Usually my mind gets exhausted long before my fingers but it depends on what kind of coding you do, I would imagine that doing frontend for example requires more lines of code than doing backend logic.

    You need a better keyboard + wrist wrest

    Mx black is a bit too much stiff for me, and blue is too noisy for open office work. My browns are coming soon though

    6-7 hours of non-stop coding is what I usually do...
    I have coded for about 30 hours without sleeping and I just felt a little dizzy and had to sleep afterwards; But no shivers or anything else...

    I think you have to sit properly and about every 30 minutes rest your eyes by looking far distances and your fingers and hand by straighten them for 1-2 minutes.

    I hope good coding times for you ;)
