+title: One of the best Skills I've learned as a Programmer
+date: 19 april 2026
+---
+
+There are many different skills one might invest it when getting into programming.
+There is a plethora of programming languages, each with their unique appeal.
+And within each language ecosystem, a plethora of web frameworks and stuff to learn.
+
+But for me, one of the greatest investments came from something else altogether:
+learning how to touch type.
+
+For those of you that don't know, touch typing basically means typing without
+looking at your keyboard. But I include in the definition typing with all your
+fingers.
+
+Before learning to touch type, I only used both my index fingers. I literally did
+not use any other finger. One day, I decided to change that and started dedicating
+a lot of time to acquiring the ability to touch type.
+
+There was a free website I used for this, whose name I have since forgotten.
+Something like typingrace of something like that.
+
+Anywho, today, I can write at ~120 WPM, which is not a crazy speed, but pretty
+respectable, if I may say so myself. Sometimes I just like typing whatever to feel
+the vertigo as my fingers speed through my keyboard.
+
+Also, this is a transferable skill, so if you can't touch type yet, I encourage you
+to.
