Don't ask why, but I was watching a V*ush vid and he was seriously looking down at the keyboard while typing. I was shocked that someone his age couldn't type on a keyboard without looking at it. I get that boomer types don't know how to type, but younger people? Wtf
Yo what's a good SAST tool, preferably language agnostic but focused on C#? Asking for a friend.
thanks, you just exposed me to one of my many insecurities, expect a strongly worded letter in the mail within the month
That's one of the things I kinda hated at the time but am super glad my school taught us from a young age. Typing is like riding a bike for me, don't have to think about it. I literally can't imagine how people manage to live in this world without typing
it's a classist/ableist take in general for sure, but specifically to clown on vaush it's a good one
Listen, I'm about to blow your mind. I teach high school and have for years and I've never had a single kid that knows how to type.
I teach high school and have for years and I’ve never had a single kid that knows how to type.
if the years are 10±5, surely you must've had some kids come through the Runescape school of typing, no? I can't be the only one who learned to touch-type as a 9-year-old spamming "red:wave: selling lobbies 400" in the Varrock bank
A few did take classes in school but most have not. They also tend to be very computer illiterate, although it's an extremely high poverty area which reduces the chance of growing up with access to a computer.
Still, though. It's like at some point the school system was like "Hey these kids are digital natives! Why are we wasting money on technology classes." They're all about college and career readiness, but you know what's a useful skill? Being able to type and use a computer.
If you wasted your life on MMOrpgs as a kid like I did, you have at least 75 wpm
Mavis Beacon taught me to type. Quake 3 taught me to type fast.
That game actually put a little icon over your head if you were typing so people would headhunt you. You had to be fast or you'd be dead if you wanted to trash talk lmao.
I honestly think that learning how to touch type was the most useful thing I have ever learned if I consider the investment/payoff ratio. It's seriously trivial in time investment 1-2 weeks 30-60 mins a day and that's it. Learning it is also basically playing a rhythm video game as well so I would say it's even pretty fun. Touch typing in comparison has probably saved me like hundreds if not thousands of hours, but the payoff would depend on how much typing you do. I honestly wondered why I had no touch typing in high school considering how useful it is.
I learned how to type in Dvorak and thus lost the ability to touch type on 99% of machines.
I've been using keyboards since I was very young, and learned how to type the "right way" three different times for classes, and every time I revert back to pecking with my index and middle fingers while frequently looking at the keyboard
maybe it's my autism
i have autism and have been using computers for most of my life, and i didn't learn how to type until i was an adult. I was trying to get a job in data entry, didn't get the job though lol. Still glad I learned it
Closed fist with index finger out, both hands. Any other way is lib shit.
I was really fast on qwerty but then moved to azerty. Found qwertz which is good because it's easier to type in English and French but I'm not as fast as I was in high school and college.
Learning to type on a whole new keyboard arrangement sounds really tough, that's kind of amazing. And in other languages wowow
