Work gets done comfortable fast, but I wonder whether I should try and force myself to learn how to touch type properly. I tried giving it a shot for a while and if I choose to commit to it I can see myself having to go through lots of frustration due to slowness and clunkyness as my hands re-learn how to type. Yes. If you don't do it now, you might not do it at all. Old habits are hard to break. Here's a data point: https://blog.codinghorror.com/we-are-typists-first-programme... So if you can do http://www.typeonline.co.uk/typingspeed.php and get ~84wpm, you're at least as good as Jeff Atwood. But rather than compare yourself to others, it might be more helpful to ask yourself what your goals are. I guess I feel strongly on this because of how revelatory and interesting the process of learning Vim was. It was sort of like re-discovering typing, and took a week of solid commitment (during which I got hardly anything done). But it'd be kind of silly to say that any of this stuff matters, per se. If you can enter text and you're comfortable with your speed, the only question that would seem to matter is: do you want to do it? |
