Early praise for The Healthy Programmer
Joe Kutner offers practical, readable, and well-researched advice for those who
sit at a keyboard. I’ve incorporated his health-and-fitness regimen into my writing
routine.

Health and programming should go together like a horse and carriage. You can’t
have one without the other. In our sedentary office work, we often forget that an
absence of health is as bad as a lack of programming skills. Joe points out a dozen
areas where you and I can do better. Every office worker should read this book
and self-reflect on health improvements.

This book introduced me to the term conditioned hypereating. It felt life-changing.
Being aware of this has made it easier to experiment with smaller, less-ambitious
changes that actually have a chance at succeeding. I’m very curious to see where
this puts me a year from now.

The Healthy Programmer is excellent. In many ways it’s a spiritual continuation
of The Hacker’s Diet.
