For me, it's not the fast part that's useful as much as the ability to type braces, square brackets, underscores, = signs, left/right arrowheads without having to look down to locate the key.
- iamdave 10y agoWhy? Has that historically-on your team-proved detrimental? I'm interested to hear the anecdote on this one if that's the case.
- thomasahle 10y agoPerhaps it's not detrimental, but I can also program on my smartphone without it causing major problems for the end result. It's just super annoying.
- ftlio 10y agoIt's just a bit frustrating hitting the wrong key? It's not more complicated than that.
- wtetzner 10y agoYes, it's detrimental because it's distracting. It interrupts my concentration when I make typing mistakes, or can't get the code written down fast enough. I want to write it down fast, because I can only hold so much in my head, and the faster I can write down an idea, the faster I can move on to the next one. Once everything is down, it's much easier for me to look at the whole, and edit it (refactor, etc.).
- mgcross 10y agoMistakes derail me much more when I'm sharing my screen or pairing. Once I make one, my confidence is somewhat shaken and I spend an inordinate amount of time on accuracy rather than the task at hand. Stupid, I know.
