I'm considering switching to a standing desk setup. Is it actually better or just expensive placebo?

Helps posture, but only if you switch positions. I do 20 min sit / 40 min stand cycles.

Pro tip: get an anti-fatigue mat. Makes a huge difference for long standing sessions.

Watch out for varicose veins! Alternate between sitting and standing every hour.

I built a DIY treadmill desk - best decision ever. Coding while walking at 1mph is surprisingly productive.
