Programmers should never listen to music generated by their computer,
nor CDs played in their computer. Programmers should always use CDs in
a CD player out of reach of the position for programming. Also the CD
player remote should not be in reach.

Every time the CD stops you get up change to a new CD and then get on
with programming.

If you are all neophyte and new fangled (and lower quality even than
CDs) restrict your MP3 or Ogg Vorbis player (not the computer for
programming) to one album at a time, and put the device out of reach.

Never put a radio on.

The point here is to get up out of the chair for at least 2 mins every
40 mins to 60 mins. For the really keen to stay fit and alive you might
want to do a few stretching exercises whilst changing the music.
Especially fingers. And neck.

I recommend "The eight pieces of silk brocade" qigong.
