1 year agoLol I wish. I genuinely do. But as long as we stay stubbornly opposed to basic shit that the rest of the world is doing like providing everyone with healthcare and maternity leave and stuff, there’s no way.
I use Dvorak. I typed around 70 wpm in Qwerty, and now I’m up to around 95 wpm in Dvorak. Was it worth it? I dunno. I got up to a good speed (like 30 wpm) in like a month, but it took a good couple of years to reach my current speed. The problem is that I switched from being a programmer to teaching programming, so now I have a bit of trouble every time I try to show my students something on their computers. No way I’m switching back to Qwerty, but I’m not sure if the switch was really worth it. If I were an author, a secretary, someone who actually typed fast all day long it’d probably be worth it, but not for what I actually do.
