But typing without having to think about typing, is. It's the same as with driving. You can either drive very deliberately and consciously, where your whole focus is the road, or you can 'switch to automatic' where you're actually thinking about something else entirely. For driving, maybe focus-mode is best. But typing should be automatic.

Typing is already easy enough. We overload the world with more texts and more code. We use AI-based summarizers anyway if too long, which is bad. Same for long code reviews, details are then overlooked. We write hundred pages essays to avoid the effort of slowing down and clarify our thinking. We neglect thinking and right to the point sentences because it's too easy to type fast and long, we feel the urge to react and to feel productive even if it's not. The urge to drive fast, to push more code, to write more. And put the pressure on everyone else to follow along with the melody. I would love more thinking and focused people, more careful too, and more aware people instead of having all of them wanting to type more and faster.
