Yeah i have to call BS on this narrative that somewhat the keyboard is the most important thing for developer. Writing code is not writing documentation or writing books : Most of time spent not on typing letter... Debugging, reading code, thinking about a code etc... are more important. I have yet to see a case where typing speed is a limiting factor for coding.
Loads of non-dev information workers type way more than dev...
- einpoklum 3y agoIt's true that if a laptop doesn't have a monitor, you can't use it to read code. But - you don't need an ultra-perfect color reproduction, super-low refresh rate etc. on your monitor to read code. So if your laptop has a TN rather than IPS panel - that might be consideration but nothing like decent keyboard or not. And debugging we do with our brains mostly :-)
