As of early 2024, most programmers spend most of their time sitting while working, with alternative methods being niche. Some such niche examples are standing desks or treadmills, or VR smartglasses with a (handheld) keyboard or voice input.
Ideally, alternatives to sitting could offer the ability to be physically active while working, without sacrificing efficiency or comfort.
Resolution criteria (provisional; feedback wanted):
This market resolves NO if a credible poll done in 2029 reports that more than 10% of programmers don't spend the majority of their time sitting while working. This market resolves YES if no such polling result occurs that year.
Update:
I've added the word "mostly" to the title to better reflect the resolution criteria.

1.00@SunilOcara good point. I found this on the bureau of labor statistics:
On average, electricians spent 9.8 percent of the workday sitting, while computer programmers sat for 95.7 percent of the workday.

But I didn't find any polls directly about the criteria for this market.
