Foojay Podcast #61: As a developer, how do we keep our body and mind healthy?

Long hours at a desk, the rise of AI, and remote teams across time zones put real pressure on developers. Staying healthy in body and mind is not a soft topic, it is a survival skill for a long career. At Devoxx and JFall we sat down with Georgios Diamantopoulos, Tom Cools, Lutske de Leeuw, Jessica Siewert, and Rijo Sam to hear how they handle it, in Foojay Podcast #61.

What we talked about

The impact of our work on physical health
How AI changes job satisfaction and the sense of being valuable
The way COVID-19 reshaped careers and remote work
Talking about mental health with colleagues
Switching jobs and preventing burnout
Dealing with impostor syndrome
Resolving conflicts inside a team
Building real connections with new colleagues
Remote team dynamics and time zone challenges
Cultural differences and the risk of text chat over voice

Five voices, one shared message: take care of yourself before the work takes care of you.
