Sitting with two of my friends

Me: You ever get a random eye ache? But like you actual eye not like that migraine behind it

Friend 1: Yes
Friend 2: Wtf? No

So the other dev knows what I'm on about but the civilian doesn't... interesting

I don't 😅 Perhaps I'm not devvy enough

Your code is sooo bad it hurts my eyes kind of thing I imagine

Eye strain is one of the problems for those in front of the computer all the time. Gets worse with age. Take 5 min and look far beyond the screen.

I have been experiencing this for a month now. I have been worried and this post has me a little scared now. I hope this isn't a permanent thing.
I installed stretchly (https://hovancik.net/stretchly/) on all my machines to remind me to take regular screen breaks. I used it well for a bit but now I'm back to square one and it is worrying.

@ScriptCoded Maybe your eyes work. Friend 1 and I both have glasses. Although our prescriptions are up to date. Friend 2 has glasses too but doesn't work at computer all day and then play videogames all night

@hardCoding My code is bad it hurts my own eyes

@anux I'd say if it happens more than randomly once a week, you should worry

@TheBeardedOne yeah it does. My work hours increased drastically in the last few months. My doctor asked me to reduce screen time and stress. I'm trying but it is fucking difficult.
