  1. I love the mouse. It's increases productivety. It's 2025. You're living 40 years in the past when it was all typing in terminals. Most of us have moved on. I very rarely open a terminal.

  2. ​ @mlemImlem If you want to be a faster developer and not just fast typist then use a good IDE with a mouse. It's just so much better.

  3. Being a fast typist doesn't make one a fast developer, but it likely hastens the onset of RSI. Software development is not about speed typing. Vim is not the best for development. Fast at what? Why are people so focused on key presses? A good IDE is clearly the best. The whole "it's a distraction" argument is bs. An IDE offers a full featured environment. No serious developer uses vim. At least, I've never seen one in 30 years of software development. Watching "fast developers" buzzing the cursor right left whilst they fix an endless sequence of typos is just cringe. And why use a terminal? It's 2025, not 1985.
