I love squatting. I have ever since I was a child, and people have often commented on my tendency to squat when others would stand or sit. I also use a standing desk. Nonetheless, there's just no way whatsoever that squatting while using a computer seems like a good idea.
Screw your standing desk. How about squatting?

#14Arguing standing vs sitting (vs squatting) is missing the point. It's not an either or proposition. Holding any one position for a long time is bad. A good desk should be quick and easy to move from sitting height to standing height, and you switch between them regularly.

I'm curious on how your desk would be arranged for squatting. This is the first I've even heard of desk squatting so I am struggling with how it would be set up.
