While I'm not a fan of AI, as a lover of keyboards and vim, I found this to be a fun read. I occasionally try to explain the reduced friction / increased flow to people that comes with CLIs, keyboard navigation, and fast typing speeds, but I'm not sure I get it across well. So many people are quick to claim a fast typing speed is useless because typing isn't the bottleneck or whatever, but being able to type 150wpm+ means typing 100wpm is also much easier, and also that you've learned your tools well and can get around with little thought. It's just easiest to quantify raw typing speed, it's not the whole picture. I wasn't aware of the specific research covered in the article, but it kinda aligns with how I already felt, so it's cool to read about.
