> How does a plumber avoid kneeling?

They technically have the option of reducing weight, exercise, proper shoes, knee braces and knee pads, kneeling pads, and such.

What I am suggesting is that both (all?) jobs have their own health related demons.




Yes in the way that someone with a multi-million dollar trust fund who wants to buy a nicer car or bigger house and someone working for minimum wage both have money problems.

Especially when working from home any health-related dangers around software development can be all but completely eliminated. This isn't even remotely comparable to any of the health or occupational risks in the trades.
