I once saw a presentation that used a Python shell. The guy typed _super_ fast and didn't make any mistakes. It was pretty impressive. But then afterwards he told us that he had written a tool that typed out something prewritten as he mashed the keyboard.

    Perhaps you're thinking of Pete Fein's lightning talk at PyCon 2019 in Atlanta? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVzTcQkMNXg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVzTcQkMNXg

  You should post a show HN of this. It's really cool and I definitely will be using this in about a month. I wouldn't have found it if not for this comment.
