For the Faith Coder, sitting at a desk writing code for 10 hours a day can quickly lead to chronic pain, eye strain, and physical degradation. A new lifestyle focus within the Christian tech community is reframing ergonomics not just as a matter of workplace comfort, but as a theological issue: the stewardship of the physical body.
