With all due respect to the people who have studied this, I do not care. I'm relatively young, and yet the pain of typing has started to become unmistakeable and chipped away at my productivity, motivation, and sense of invincibility.

You could tell me AI coding makes me 50% slower. I'm taking it. I refuse to grind my wrists to dust.

I'll chip in with another datapoint that a seriously ergonomic keyboard helped me as well - in my case, the glove80. Expensive, and there might be a better option on the Pareto curve, but I got freaked out, bought the most ergonomic keyboard I could find, and it did solve my problem.

I've heard good things about voice typing with Talon too, but never tried it.

I've had similar issues, in the end switching to a split keyboard and vertical mouse/trackball helped immensely.

Try using AI in a useful manner then, as a voice or shorthand input method.

As in _physical pain_? If you haven't already, go to a doctor; that's not normal (it's somewhat common, but it is far from inevitable and there are things you can do about it).
