Honestly I'm consistently surprised - I've worked at Amazon and seen many engineers, product people, etc type with incorrect techniques.

I've seen interns looking for symbols on their keyboard for a second or two (the tilde "~" or the pipe symbols "|") when I asked them to type in a certain shell command.

Since I started building this website, many of my friends and family learned touch typing because of the site never even heard of proper touch typing technique until I started talking about what I was working on.

I think it's due to poor education - there's no institutionalized course that teaches this. A couple schools maybe, but nothing on a big scale.

Kind of mind boggling given that almost every desk job uses a keyboard
