OK. I will out myself.
I have a history of doing other things than computer programming.
I have worked as a park ranger and surveyor. I used to be able to
drop medium - size trees with a machete. (Chainsaws are much
heavier than machetes and it is matter of priorities if you are
carrying lots of other gear and don't expect to have to drop a lot
of trees). I could chop for long periods of time, switch hands and
my usage of the machete put a lot of the impact at the base of my
thumbs.
So, as a senior, I now have arthritis at the base of my thumbs.
Don't do as I did.
cheers
