That sort of standing is different than the way programmers work.

In what you describe, people walk around and do some physical activity all the time. That's totally different than the way programmers work.

We practically stand motionless for hours, with only eyes and fingers moving. That sorting of standing is difficult to do for prolonged working hours. And might be more harmful than sitting for long working hours.




I used to work in an assembly line in a factory. Other than the minimum legally mandated breaks, all the line workers stood in one place.
