Probably typing on a non english keyboard. When I learned C a long time ago, I read somewhere 'isnt it nice that one doesnt need a lot of keystrokes like for begin and end', and I thought pls give me begin and end instead of this unpleasent slow hand movement.
- atq2119 4y agoSpot on. It's the reason many non-native speaker developers I know nevertheless use an English keyboard layout. I personally made my own hybrid layout that is basically an English US layout with the letters rearranged according to my native layout.
