Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it's already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.
I keep wanting to learn Dvorak but I'm just already so fast and accurate with QWERTY.
Learning an entire new layout isn't as hard as it sounds. I just went cold turkey one day and changed all my devices over to Dvorak and it took me about a week to be comfortable and maybe after a month I was faster than I was on QWERTY. It's so much faster learning to type once you're already fast at another layout.
I didn't go cold turkey but made myself stick with Dvorak in mIRC. I was competent with Dvorak within a couple of weeks and then switched everything with actual typing to Dvorak within a month or two while using qwerty for things where I just wanted to type before that.
At this point (some 20 years later), typing with qwerty takes concentration but Dvorak is so comfortable.
That was with a qwerty layout keyboard just changing the layout in software and using an image on my 2nd monitor as a guide that I needed for maybe a couple of weeks. I also did drilling with typing games. Programming symbols took the longest to get used to. I still haven't gotten an actual Dvorak layout keyboard (which does make it easier when I do need to use qwerty).
Yeah it just doesn't seem worth it when every keyboard one encounters outside of home will be qwerty.
I tried years ago and got up to about 25wpm on Dvorak before switching back. it was seeming like the juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze
