Have you tried programming in something other than notepad.exe?

Modern IDEs have auto complete so impressive, that you don't need to type much anyway. I type several symbols then stop to let the editor suggest the rest of the word. Can I touch type it myself? Yes. Do I want to? No. There wouldn't be much difference if I typed slower.

NB. When I say "modern IDEs" I mean anything since around Visual Assist, which sorted suggestions not alphabetically, but depending on context. I don't even mean copilot.
