Got roasted by a coworker for my 'home base' setup and it actually helped

I was showing off my Bali setup at a coworking space last month and this guy who's been nomading for 6 years just laughed. He pointed out my chair was too low and my laptop screen was at neck height. Said I'd feel it in 5 years. I brushed it off but that night my neck actually hurt. I ended up buying a 40 dollar portable stand on Amazon and a rolled up towel for lumbar support. Made a huge difference in two weeks. Has anyone else had a random stranger fix their workspace ergonomics mid-trip?

Ha! The real hack is ditching your laptop entirely during travel.

Actually read something about this recently where a guy said your body will always tell you something's wrong before you really feel it, you just gotta listen. That neck pain kicking in the same night sounds about right.
