I share much of the same ideas about this as the author.
For a long time, to make coding more natural (before and after LLMs) and not having to think about certain keywords or syntax, I would
create little Anki decks (10-20 cards) with basic exercises for a particular language or tool I was using. One to two weeks of 5-10 minutes/day of doing these exercises (like, how to redirect both stout and strrr into a file, how to read from a channel in go, etc) and I was working without having to pause.
Writing code became less disruptive and much easier to get my ideas into a text editor.
I’m also the creator of typequicker.com (disclaimer) and we added Code mode as a typing exercise.
At first I thought folks wouldn’t be interested. I was pleasantly surprised though; many people are using it specifically for the same reason that the author is talking about.
I actually opened this hoping it’ an alternative to vimtutor but for experienced/intermediate users.
Is there such a thing? I feel like someone has probably made something this - something that progressively works through soem of the more complex features of vim.
I’ve found soem absolute gems mostly through online blogs and reading through vim docs
If anyone has any repos that’d recommended I’d be happy to try!
> High Performance: Processes millions of events per second, about 4x to 10x faster than channels.
Wow - that’s a pretty impressive accomplishment. I’ve been meaning to move some workers I have to a pub/sub on https://www.typequicker.com.
I might try using this in prod. I don’t really need the insane performance benefits as I don’t have my traffic lol - but I always like experimenting with new open source libraries - especially while the site isn’t very large yet
Really cool site.
One small issue that I found is that you cannot change the keyboard layout. Not sure if it should somehow automatically pick it up through some browser feature. But it would be nice to change it manually :)
Yes - I have plans to do. Still relatively new to the marketing, SEO, etc world.
Recently quit my job to build products (TypeQuicker is the first in line) and up until now I've only ever done software dev work.
How would you suggest to do twitter promos - just post consistently about the app features and such?
I've only been able to find articles that counter it[1][2][3][4], and nothing more rigorous than a Pew survey.
It feels right, and I recall feeling similarly about certain items/events as a teen, but teens aren't known for having the most measured interpretations of reality.
I could only get through a few rounds of this -- it messed with my brain much more than my fingers. Proper nouns without capitals, flipping between -ize and -ise, and the outright bad grammar were all reasons I typed slower than I normally would.
> geohumanities, sometimes written geohumanities or the geohumanities is a term has been used with varied meanings to describe areas of academic study
I'm not sure what mode at all - I just clicked "start", and after each exercise I just clicked "continue". I didn't adjust any settings, just dived straight in!
