It’s been a busy day. It’s been non-stop since this morning.

Just down for a while, pour a glass of water, brush the next mobile phone, see a sad news.

A 24-year-old programmer in Shenzhen worked overtime on Saturday. And at six o ‘clock that night, he collapsed.

Luckily, it turned out all right.

Everyone says that we programmers have high wages and make more money. But how many people know how hard we work, how many hours we work?

995, 996 (nine to nine, six days) companies everywhere, do not work overtime Internet companies chicken hair diamond.

I’ve described my working hours tongue-in-cheek before:

1. Working overtime until 8 p.m. Wow, it’s an early day.

2. Working overtime until 9 p.m. Well, I’m off work for the day.

3. Working overtime until 10 p.m. Gee, I’m running a little slow today.

4. Working overtime until 11 p.m. Well, I worked overtime today, so I need to hurry up tomorrow.

5. Working overtime until midnight. Alas, I worked overtime today, it seems that the time limit estimate is a little tight.

6. Working overtime after midnight… Oh, shit! It’s day two again!

I googled “programmer”…

“Sudden death” is number one!!

Who took away our right to leave work?

Many bosses and leaders encourage their employees: “Young man, work overtime! Learn more, it’s good for your growth!” , this is bullshit!!

In our industry, products are changing fast and technology is iterating fast. If you work late every night, how will you have the time and energy to learn new skills?

I don’t deny that early in our career, overtime can help us grow quickly.

But if long-term voluntary overtime, I do not agree!

We need time to study, to recharge, to fall in love, to enjoy life.

Although we love Coding, we love work. But Coding and work are not the only things in our life.

Mr. K has been working for several years and often works overtime. For the first two years, I didn’t care. These two years obviously feel oneself have a lot of occupational disease, ache up really deadly.

I hope you don’t follow my old path, prevent in advance, to avoid these occupational diseases.

I have summarized several points for your reference:

1. At work, get up and move at least once an hour, don’t sit up only once or twice a day. Use the Pomodoro technique and get up every 30 minutes.

2. Pay more attention to your body and ensure a healthy experience every year. The company does not provide, be sure to make an appointment yourself. A normal physical, it’ll take about $200.

3. Stay away from companies that work overtime unless they pay a lot of money. Otherwise, 1 or 2 k more, there is no money left after tax. Make full use of the time off work, the benefits will be greater.

4. Exercise more after work and try to avoid “strenuous exercise”. Strenuous exercise can have negative effects. It is recommended to walk slowly instead of running, running posture is not right, it is easy to hurt the knee.

5. Brush your mobile phone less when you get home, especially playing fewer games and dramas. Often playing games, watching TV series, movies, it is easy to stay up late. Staying up late does great harm to the heart and cerebrovascular system, which is one of the main factors of sudden death.

Don’t live alone, find a partner as much as possible. Otherwise…

7. Buy commercial insurance just in case.

Normal heart, don’t frighten yourself because of today’s bad news.

Dream is very important, but life is more important!

Good health is the greatest wealth in one’s life
