I can't wrap my head around how anyone functions in a professional, uses-a-computer-all-day capacity if they can only type 60wpm. Dropping down to 20wpm, even temporarily? How do you get anything done that way?
- sjm 5y agoProbably the same way you are generally productive but currently spending time on HN? Very unlikely anyone's productivity is "capped" by their typing speed. 99% of my productive time is thinking about solutions, not the physical act of typing them out.
- jascii 5y agoSolve the same problem with less code?
- slongfield 5y agoI type at a pretty decent pace (~80 wpm), but I spend a lot more time thinking about what I'm going to type and reviewing what I just typed than pressing buttons on the keyboard. I'd imagine this is the case for most people not doing stenography or data entry.

- focusaurus 5y agoI can transcribe audio from meetings in almost real time. It doesn't actually require blazing fast WPM to do that. I get plenty done. And no, the first working squeezebox prototype is not my daily driver. Second version I hope but it's more about the process and I wouldn't be surprised if it is just the next entry in a fairly long line of keebs to challenge my original ergodox full-hand and walk away leaving the ergodox as king of the hill.
