- thealistra 10y agoIt's weird, as this is mostly a programmer-related community, I am a programmer and I never found that typing is the bottleneck. Mostly the thinking part is the bottleneck.
- beat 10y agoDepends on what you're typing. For coding, it really doesn't make a difference... so much of the typing is punctuation anyways. But for prose - emails, blog posts, HN comments, etc - typing speed matters.
- lj3 10y agoIf it mattered that much, everybody would be typing steno instead of qwerty.
- mbrock 10y agoFor me it's not so much about finding the bottleneck to increase the speed of programming, it's much more about ergonomics and convenience. I do end up typing quite a lot, and in my experience, keyboard layouts that intentionally minimize uncomfortable movement just makes typing feel less bad and harmful, which is very valuable to me.
