Wrist pain from coding? Light tendon training plus voice-to-text with AI agents as workaround
mgostIH · x · 2026-10-12
A developer complains of horrible wrist pain despite a split ergonomic keyboard, ergonomic chair, and good posture. mgostIH suggests:
- Do light wrist exercises, ramping up intensity over weeks, training tendons and muscles through the full range of motion while avoiding whatever caused the pain
- Meanwhile switch to voice-to-text + agents to keep working
A common AI-era workaround for high-volume typers, useful reference for developers with repetitive strain issues.
