@futurebird I’m a music person not a computer person so immediately thought of the composer and was like, ok maybe teaching them new world symphony might help

@platypus I may threaten to do it in faculty meetings to get the homeroom teachers to not skip their time for typing games... now that might just work.

@futurebird “Listen kid, I know this is confusing and the letters don’t match up at all, and that it only works like this on this computer and not any computer at home, the library, your other teacher’s computers, your iPad, your phone, or your future job’s computer. But this was strongly recommended by some great people online so buckle up: we are learning DVORAK!”

@futurebird The only thing that could make it more Fedi is suggesting that they should learn on a proper mechanical or buckling-spring keyboard.I'm not the one making that recommendation. Just this once.

@futurebird oh in that case, we gotta teach em to stop doing that mic thing for their TikTok’s and instead do what god intended:EDM background music and writing out what you wanna say in NotePad for your content delivery needs.Just in case, we’ll have them download and set the Bliss wallpaper too, for good measure.

@futurebird if beginners code needs something it's an increased ability to write it faster than they can think it through

@futurebird If typing speed is the limiting factor, you're doing it wrong. In fact, I'd be in favour of enforcing a deliberately slow layout if that made people stop and think before typing. Now I'm convinced it's possible to type as fast as necessary on any layout, so it's all hypothetical. Mechanical typewriters are a different matter, obviously. There the qwerty layout was chosen to let people type faster, not to slow them down as the silly Dvorak fans would have you believe.

@futurebird Switching to Dvorak is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I always tell people "You spend a lot of time sitting in your chair at work. Would you like to have a comfortable office chair or an uncomfortable office chair? Well, it's the same with your keyboard layout."It isn't about speed for me. It's about ergonomics. I don't get carpal tunnel anymore
