Key quotes
· 5 pulledApparently, one of my hobbies is making updates to my ergonomic setup, then blogging about it from an Amtrak train.
My setup stayed static for some time, but my most recent iteration ended up letting me down and I had to change it again.
This new one is closest to the first one I wrote about in 2024, but with some major improvements and reproducibility.
Why am making I yet more changes to this setup?
It gave me a lot of useful information and strongly shaped how I approached this iteration.
