Just broke the barrier of 100 words per minute in a typing test for the first time ever, with the colemak-dh layout.

Started learning blind typing a few weeks ago — and ended up swapping the LCtrl and CapsLock keys to reduce finger movement.

Time to train muscle memory

I prefer remembering as keyboards are so much better than mouse!

Types vs No Types - How Types Allow Code to Scale across Developers, Organizations, and Lines of Code #typing

the fun thing about split keyboards is learning how even though i typed 100+ wpm, i was using weird key-finger distributions such as my right index finger to hit b??? yet, in a matter of 1 week (with a learning curve) my hands have already adapted to this split. muscle memory is fascinating!

Keyboards!

Recently I switched from the default keyboard on my Android phone to Simple Keyboard from the F-Droid app. It doesn't have autocorrect, word suggestions, swiping/gesture support, or spyware.

I originally switched for privacy reasons, but I've noticed that my frustration with phone typing has gone down drastically. I was always struggling against autocorrect to not replace the wrong thing, and the auto capitalization and such never allowed me to develop any skill in typing precisely.

I'm much slower in typing now, but I feel so much more in control of the experience.

Just a small iOS tip for VoiceOver users. If you use the onscreen keyboard, and you're done typing on the keyboard, and want it to go away, you can do the "scrub" back gesture, and it'll hide the keyboard.

TypeIs[], an improved alternative to TypeGuard[] in Python, has been accepted by the Steering Council for Python 3.13

I'm hoping to combine this functionality with the upcoming TypeForm[] to better support runtime #typechecking in #Python.
