Ask HN: Are you using touch typing?
While writing code?
- andreareina 9y agoYup. The less I need to keep my mind on how to type, the more I can keep my mind on what. Hunting for punctuation/braces is slooow, and not much else is happening while you're doing that. Given the density of punctuation in code, that's a lot of context switching.
