I had tendonitis for many, many years, and I found that the thing that helped most was:
a. EMMET! Emmet is amazing, if you're working with HTML. It lets you use CSS-style selectors to write your HTML, and most editors have it built into the IDE, or have plugin support for it.
b. Visual Studio Code also has a fantastic, super useful feature where you can create multiple cursors and then type in multiple places simultaneously. (Need to edit several different lines? Thanks to VSCode, you hold down shift-alt, click everywhere that you need to modify, then you only need to type it once! There are keyboard shortcuts too! Some video examples)
c. I tried also using general code templates, with less success. Need a FOR loop? Don't type it out yourself! There's a code template for that. Link
d. Wear a brace on injury while coding.
e. Don't push it. Any pain that I feel now is going to be much worse tomorrow. (Usually my pain felt a lot worse afterwards, rather than during my physical activity)
f. Some people say that buying a special keyboard like this one helped them a lot, but it never worked for me. (Though I had wrist tendonitis, not elbow tendonitis.) Maybe you'll have better luck.
g. (Obviously, but it's so important it needs to be stated anyway.) Avoid all non-programming physical activity. Go watch TV.
Good luck!
