Program to wean developers off Coke and pizza

25.10.2006

To date, 44 software developers have signed up the 'wellness program' which ends on November 30, 2006.

An Altiris spokeswoman said while the company hasn't been able to completely wean developers off pizzas.

"But at least they are now supplementing pizza with salads, sandwiches and fresh fruit," she said.

The spokeswoman said some of the daily goals for developers include no deep fried foods, drinking 600 mls of water a day, reducing video games to 1.5 hours a day and averaging seven hours of sleep each night.

One of the more popular activities has been the Zen stress busting sessions, which aren't too strenuous.
