Ergonomics vs Physical Safety
Developers should learn and apply ergonomics to mitigate health risks associated with prolonged computer use, such as back pain, eye strain, and carpal tunnel syndrome, which can lead to long-term disabilities and reduced work efficiency meets developers should learn and apply physical safety principles when working with hardware, data centers, robotics, iot devices, or any physical computing systems to mitigate risks like electrical shocks, equipment damage, or workplace accidents. Here's our take.
