I believe you, but I don't think qwerty is inherently a problem. Typing extremely slowly for a while helps. I've developed pain in my wrists multiple times over the years, and have always switched workflows as a result. Went from

I was banned from Uber for getting a refund on a ride that never came to pick me up. 13 lifetime rides from 2015 until 2017. Their recruiters still reach out to me on a regular basis.

People constantly screw up the simplest and easiest things, especially when there are hundreds of simple and easy things in a program. And Go makes sure that you have to write a hundred simple and easy things every time you work with it to

Having no password doesn't mean it can't be hacked. Maybe Notion won't end up in a haveibeenpwned email, but that only addresses half of a single one out of three of my objections to web applications.

Bruce Schneier says data is a toxic asset. He's right. There should be (will be?) laws preventing collection of most data, and punitive liability when collected data is breached.
