Lots of reasons why >1.5 hours is of little use. One is
risk of RSI. Another is proactive and retroactive inhibition of
memory.

Subject: PPIG discuss: Problems sitting on the seat (acquiring the seat) while Programming.
Hello all!
I
am a programmer from Pakistan, Programming from the past 6 years, as I started
my bachelors, in 1998 and I am comparitively good at it. One of the
problems that I am facing from the past 3 years or so, as I have started
commercial software development, that I can't sit in front of the computer on my
seat for more than 1 or 1.5 hours. Some times I did manage to do that, like if
i've had a pleasent night chatting with one of my friends, at other most of the
times i've struggled a lot, getting up for smoking or for tea, or for a
walk at least, the basic purpose of which had been to motivate myself up for
sitting on the seat for the next turn.
As
far as my psychological life is concerned I have been through a lot of things,
which i can explain well. My new job is going to be started in a
company with in the next few days, working in Network Security in Java. Some of
my friends claim that they sit for 3 to 4 hours consistently without
a rest in front of the computer in a single go. Can some body help with
this.
Regards,
Babar Abbas.
Software Engineer.
