Why should I create a program to protect my eyes?

- I like coding whole day. The habit makes my eyes more eye strain. I’m curious. How often do you use a digital device that tire your eyes more? I found 20–20–20 rule good for the eyes. Every 20 minutes look 20 feet away at something for 20 seconds.
- So I design a program using autohotkey. Every 20 minutes show a blue screen of death GUI. Closing GUI after 20 seconds automatically. Or Pressing
esc
key to exit the program. It is helpful to remind you take a break. You can drink some coffee or tea🍵. Drink something will make you feel better. You get more energy for your next tasks. - Why I use blue screen of death GUI as a reset hint? I always see the blue screen, when my computer has some trouble. It means the computer was crashed. It can not work for me. Give up! I can’t do anything when I lost my computer. 😰
- This is the protect-eyes repository. Be careful. There is a blue screen that will hurt your eyes. 😂 If you like this story , please give me a round of applause :D.
