What list?

I'm currently sitting in a Herman Miller Aeron chair from a previous employer who closed that location . When it closed if you could find a manager to sign for it, you could take it home. The managers were about as strict as you'd expect during their last few weeks. Side note, that was more than 15

What did you think was pretentious, until you tried it and realized it was worth it?

Get a Herman Miller Aeron. They're like $1000-1500 new but every time a company goes out of business they have to sell off all their chairs, so you can get them on craigslist for ~300 and even cheaper from liquidation auctions.

What’s an expensive brand that actually IS worth the money?

At one of my previous jobs, someone was tossing a Herman Miller Aeron. I immediately recognized it and brought it home. The hydraulic cylinder needed to be replaced and it only cost about $40 on Amazon for a replacement kit. I will keep this chair forever.

Sys admins who are still remote.

Herman Miller Aeron. Provided great support when I was almost 400lbs. Still providing great support when I'm down to 220. Bought it in 2020 and still works like new. No issues. Great quality product. It's expensive but worth every penny imo.

CEO's Assistant said it wasn't right I had a nicer chair than he did

Exactly why I have my own Herman Miller Aeron chair. Protip, find a local place that sells used office furniture and they will have them for $400-500 rather than the $1800-2200 they are new. They are basically indestructible.

Productivity vs. Ergonomics: MacBook's built-in deck is faster for me, but it's destroying my neck and wrists. How do I bridge the gap?

Just put the MacBook on the desk, put a monitor on an arm above it and use the MacBook keyboard and trackpad. This is what I’ve done for 15 years, no back or joint problems in that time. What was giving me back problems before that was a bad chair and desk. Moving to an Herman Miller Aeron chair and

Ok, at my age I have a list of items I won’t skimp on at this point. What are yours?

If you work a lot from a computer, get a very good desk chair. I've used a Herman-Miller Aeron for the better part of 20 years and it has saved my back. One of the best purchases I ever made. Get a membership at a good gym with an experienced trainer. Not one of those roided-up gymbros but someone w

Gaming Chair?

Please do not get a gaming chair. Gaming chairs are based on racing car seats which are intended to keep you in the seat when driving not be comfortable for 8 hours at a time. Gaming stuff tends to be over priced and the faux leather breaks down and doesn't last like a mesh office chair would. Go to
