I kind of like the feeling of typing on a QWERTY board with my fingers all over the place. Maybe it’s keeping my fingers strong and limber. What if I switched to Colemak and my fingers atrophied?!

Either you’re joking or you don’t know that bad positions with a keyboard or mouse can break your hands (I’m thinking of carpal tunnel’s syndrome but I’m sure there is more).
Tongue in cheek. I’ve been using emacs with QWERTY coding fulltime for years. Hands doing fine. Just need good seating, monitor, keyswitch spring strength, and hand positioning. Cherry MX brown switches were exhausting.
