Yo-yo-yo
I realized yesterday that switching to a completely new keyboard + layout was a bit too ambitious of a goal from the get-go (I don't think you would guess it's a keyboard if I showed it to you), so I've decided to do a more progressive transition. Let me tell you, being able to type quickly again is a greaaaat feeling. I'd equate it to when you're learning a language and trying to have a conversation with someone. It's easy to very quickly become frustrated by how difficult it is to express yourself. Same thing here; you know what you want to type, and how you'd do it, but the connection between your brain and your fingers is just what it feels like it should be. I bet there's a class of disabilities that produce the same sort of feeling. Yeesh, that's brutal.
Anyway, this is actually issue #250! Whoa, that's a lot. If you enjoy the newsletter and want to support it, I'd recommend checking out the Patreon page. The page is a bit outdated, and I don't yet offer any of the benefits from the other tiers (other than an ad free version of the newsletter). Alright, here's the issue.
