      @cloudhop and gee, after you've done the work thinking about what needs to be done, I wonder how exactly the intent is communicated to the BigAutocorrect in the end...?

            @cloudhop you should have put a content warning around that, because i definitely just got dumber reading that.
            Also, makes you roll your eyes so hard it could pull a muscle.

                @cloudhop I used to buy magazines that had programs that you could type in. Think might have been the last time my programming was constrained by typing speed. The hard part has always been understanding the task at hand and formulating the best way to achieve it.

                                @cloudhop I've heard the claim from my SO that he gets about 12 lines of code in the final product per day. Is that true? If so, it's definitely not typing speed that restricts him since he types waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster than me and I type waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster than most of my colleagues.
