Re: vim and touch typing

Setting aside use of Vim, I'm always amazed at the number of people that choose a career in software development, but don't take the time to learn to touch type. If this is you, please do yourself a favor and take a few weeks to focus on learning this. Your future self will thank you!

One-handed, using the mouse a lot, using the arrow keys a lot, hands at the home position, leap to mind. Not many people touch type a regex I bet.
