I’ve always been curious as to what “normal” people think programming is like. The wildest theory I’ve heard is “typing ones and zeroes” (I’m a software engineer)

    Well idk about all programming, but I imagine hackers go through at least one keyboard a month and suffer serious finger strain injuries from typing so fast and furious.

      I’m a hacker. You don’t even want to know what my monthly budget for balaclavas and fingerless gloves is.

              Why don’t u just have a script to play a recording of you saying “I’m in”. Randomly smash keys smarter, not harder.

                that wouldnt work for my setup. see, i dont use an operating system; i write from scratch each time i boot up my computer. persistent storage is bloat.

      If you’re into custom mechanical keyboards it certainly feels like some of us are acquiring new keyboards every month even if we’re not wearing em out…
