Typing shouldn’t hurt. Fix your posture in 3 steps: align your upper body (straight back, relaxed shoulders, elbows ~90°, neutral wrists), adjust your keyboard angle with feet/riser and split it to shoulder width, and keep your screen eye-level with feet supported.
Better posture, better days. 🙌
Agony Aunt: “Are keyboard touch typing skills ATTRACTIVE!?” ⌨️
Some human males delude themselves into believing certain actions are attractive. Today’s human male has decided his brilliance on a keyboard should be enough to impress even the most attractive dame.
Amy Adams? Sandra Hüller? Sandra Bullock? Other women called Sandra? All should be dropping before his most attractive typing might. Is this so? Let us explore the typing topic.
Touch Typing is the Secret to Great Romance?
Agony aunt,
I am in agony. I’ve just spend the last 72 hours touch typing my way to the annual Touch Typing Championship 2026. It was the most competitive year I’ve ever taken part in, but I fended off a young upstarter whom tried to STEAL my crown by thrashing him with a touch typing speed of 230 WPM (words per minute) compared to his PATHETIC 215 WPM. What a pathetic boy, he should leave competitions like this to MEN like me.
However, once the event ended and I was crowned the deserving champion I turned and looked around me, rightfully expecting very hot women to begin hurling themselves at me for a date and/or marriage.
But… nothing.
There was one chick there who glanced at me and I glared at her expectantly, but she just wandered off and got a hotdog from a hotdog stand. Try to comprehend that. SHE WANTED TO EAT A HOTDOG INSTEAD OF DATING A TOUCH TYPING CHAMPION. What is the world coming to? That is feminism. This is the wokeness and it’s ruining society.
I can’t possible be wrong. What could possibly be unattractive about someone being able to have this God-given skill that others can only dream of? It shows:
How can women look me in the eye (me, admittedly not the best looking guy ever, but a touch typing genius) and think this isn’t worthy of their time?
On my Tinder dating profile I lead with it: DEREK, 33, TOUCH TYPING GENIUS
I then list out my many championship victories and link to an article that was written about me, in which I make confident (not arrogant, confident) claims about how superior I am to everyone else. And yet in the last three months I’ve swiped on over 10,000 women and only three have swiped back. One ended up being a guy pretending to be a woman, the other two were scammers thinking I’ve made a tonne of money from my victories. I haven’t. I’ve actually lost money because it’s £100 to enter the competitions. That and the keyboard investments and I’m down about £500 over the last decade due to all of this.
AND NO HOT WOMEN.
Please. Advice needed. Is it my keyboard?! It’s all black, do I need a more feminine one or something to show off my sensitive side?
Yours,
Derek
Hi there, Derek! To help you out, we went out onto the streets of Manchester city centre and randomly began demanding answers from women we encountered: “WHY WON’T YOU DATE, DEREK!?” We roared, “HE’S A TOUCH TYPING WORLD CHAMPION!”
It turns out (from the ones who didn’t run away, at least) they’re more interested in personality traits such as kindness, humour, compassion, intelligence, and an interest in the arts.
None of them were impressed or interested in the typing thing. One of them said it was “weird”*. Sorry about that! Maybe take up a new hobby.
*We have subsequently learned Derek had a stroke after reading that someone found the touch typing thing “weird”. Although he’s since recovered from that, he’s quit his day job and entered a deep, dark depression of marathon touch typing sessions. Derek… for GOD’S SAKE, man. This is not the answer. Take up golf, or something.

Maybe the real reason I love #rustlang is that everybody in this ecosystem recognize the value of coding under strong constraints so that only logic bugs can ever crash at runtime, not trivialities like passing an argument with an incorrect type to an unsuspecting function. At the very least they *accept* to play by these rules.
In contrast, when I want to apply comparable constraints to writing #python (which I always do), I have to convince others that it's worth the effort first.
You know, I'm so fast at typing that often with hashtags, I have already typed the hashtag and hit the space bar before Mastodon realises it's a hashtag, and even though I've hit the space bar, Mastodon shows me a list of possible hashtag choices and I have to continue typing or hit the space bar again to make it go away.
