Edit: silly me, a shortened the link of the poll and reset the counters. It was 92.5% to 7.5%.

I asked: Computer keyboards have little bumps or ridges on the F and J keys, as a key for touch typing, did you know these existed?

An adult with a PhD, said they didn’t know keyboard bumps existed.

I believed this to be established knowledge.

I like this Ted Lasso scene about assumptions.

@SimplyJennifer If I had to name one, single skill that has been of the most profound and persistent benefit to my programming career, I would be sorely tempted to say "touch typing." My $DEITY it was an awful chore to learn though.

@ndw @SimplyJennifer I took typing, couldn’t get 40wpm without 5 errors, was doomed to fail 2nd semester. Transferred into a sci fi class (much groveling). Fell in love with computers, and 5 yrs later likely could have outtyped 90% of the class. Still fly along between 90-125wpm… admittedly, plenty of those keystrokes are still me hitting backspace.
