SUMMARY:Shifting the trajectory: Undoing the damage of working in front of 
 a computer screen
DESCRIPTION:\n\nWe're an industry that solves impossible technical challeng
 es\, builds systems serving billions\, and automates the world – yet we 
 haven't figured out how to sit at a desk without destroying our bodies. I 
 learned this the hard way: active engineer → COVID couch potato → 41-y
 ear-old developer with chronic pain. It felt personal\, but the research r
 eveals this is happening to all of us.\n\nThis isn't about being "out of s
 hape." Within hours of sitting\, arteries lose elasticity and blood pressu
 re spikes. After one day\, insulin dysfunction kicks in. Days later\, 4\,5
 00+ genes rewire themselves and fat-burning enzymes shut down by 90%. Stru
 ctural adaptations create "tech neck\," and spinal damage now appears in c
 hildren as young as 9. We're systematically breaking our bodies while buil
 ding the digital world.\n\nIt shocked me that exercise can't save us. Basi
 cally\, you can't out-train 8 hours of sitting damage. The solution isn't 
 better ergonomics – it's a complete mental reframe of how we work and li
 ve as developers. So what do we do?\n\nI'll share the latest research and 
 specific strategies that can shift your trajectory from inevitable decline
  to sustainable vitality. Because the alternative isn't just pain – it's
  a future where we can't move freely through life at all.\nSpeaker\nGeorgi
 os Diamantopoulos\, Founder\, Zero to MVP\n\nGeorgios Diamantopoulos is a 
 pragmatic engineer with a unique ability to synthesize complex information
  and translate it into actionable systems. As co-founder of Zero to MVP si
 nce 2019\, Georgios and his team have built 25+ scalable systems by taking
  a holistic view of requirements\, constraints\, and sustainability. In pa
 rallel\, his personal journey through the physical challenges of our indus
 try led him to dive deep into health research – not as an outsider\, but
  as someone living the same reality as every developer: the gradual physic
 al toll of prolonged sitting\, the cascade of adaptations our bodies make\
 , and the realization that conventional wisdom about developer wellness mi
 sses the mark. This first-person perspective\, combined with systematic th
 inking\, allows him to bridge cutting-edge research with the day-to-day re
 ality of tech work\, addressing the challenges we all face but rarely disc
 uss openly.\nWho is this for?\nAnyone who works from a chair/in front of a
  screen. The webinar is open for Code from Finland members.\nRegistration\
