If Dorian Gray was a developer: A call to action towards future wellbeing by Georgios Diamantopoulos

My passion for computers and programming began at age 11; that’s 29 years of chair sitting for 8+ hours/day and I am just beginning to understand the impact. I've tried everything from weights to yoga, CrossFit and gymnastics and my personal journey led me to study anatomy on a human body, hoping to understand what I need to be doing NOW, to be able to play with my grandchildren at 80 years old.We, software developers, talk for days about managing complexity in systems we built but largely neglect the most intricate system of all: our human body. This presentation draws from anatomy, fascia research and my own experimentation to give practical suggestions for chair workers to invest in a lifetime of ability, free of pain and injuries.Gain insight into how the body works, specifically for desk workersDiscover common logical fallacies that prevent us from long-term wellbeingUnderstand the importance of maintaining your body and how to get started with small, simple steps
