    I’m in my mid-20s, and I taught myself to type using only my index and pointer fingers (plus thumb for space bar). Had about 80 wpm, but made quite a few errors.

    A few years ago, I swapped to Colemak and took that opportunity to finally learn to touch-type. Now I’m at 95 wpm with much better accuracy, and I don’t need to look anymore. Feels way more comfortable to type too.

    On mobile, I still use QWERTY and type with my thumbs. I can do that reasonably well with my eyes closed, considering the complete lack of tactile feedback.

    Turner orr ep3ll chk3cker and typed this sentence with my eyrs floser. (“Turned off spell checker and typed this sentence with my eyes closed.”)
