I haven't had any issues with this as of yet (after almost 7 years working full time as a developer), I think this is in part because I do sport on a regular basis, climbing in particular. Some of my training targets the wrists, forearms and shoulders, so I have them conditioned quite well.
There are specific exercises you can do daily to help prevent the syndrome. If you can try to also setup the desk, mouse and keyboard in an ergonomic way. This will also prevent you from damaging yourself (there are many resources out there on how to do it).
First you need to know what is causing the issues, is it repetitive motion? is it because you have bad posture? is your setup not ergonomic? is it excessive work hours? Then once you know the cause, you can look for a solution.
But I'd say the most important thing is to control yourself, don't overwork and do some exercise you enjoy, better if it targets your weaknesses (wrists, arms and shoulders). Maybe push ups are a good starting point. Also planks could work good in this case.

Oh hi Keff ....how you've been !
Actually I also didn't have such problem for past 5 years but lately It is bothering me too much, mainly the right wrist.
I'm not quite sure about the cause as such but I will surely try to add some wrist strengthening excercises 👍🏻
