Today at work I finally got pissed off at my chair because the spring that was supposed to keep me from leaning back too far wasn't doing its job. My back began to ache during work each time I went. So today I took the extra step and grabbed a chair with a fixed back. Meanwhile, I was doing my job of typing, and coding some Perl on the side :-). And this combination got me thinking. Do any of you have some furniture that you feel makes you code better and faster? or you just feel better while coding? Do you have any of your own coding furniture?

At home, I don't really have a chair, but I guess I could consider my desk as my coding station. It's a big desk with two wings that gives me room to stack all of my coding books, keep a radio on it, and have my monitor sitting there whithout anything getting in the way. I guess I have added sentiment towards it since I've been using it for 10 years now.

I would also describe to you my conversation with jc about his Ergo-Assmaster II programming chair, but I'll leave it to him to describe it for you.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
