> As an aside, it is curious to me that many programmers are heavy PC gamers as the one true way to game and don’t complain about the mouse use there but will throw out all sorts of complaints when using it to program
Are those definitely the same people? Mouse use is certainly one of the reasons I gave up gaming. (The other being that an X hour working day is quite enough time to spend in front of a computer already).
Maybe not. It wasn’t a well thought out aside and is maybe fraught with bias. Haha.
I don’t mind visual programming, but I don’t enjoy PC gaming at all. There have been times I’ve experienced fatigue in my mouse hand with consecutive heavy days of LabVIEW programming. I think there are definitely ways to improve it though.
