  1. @dgou Maybe. I'd do Colemak first because it should be much easier to learn. :)
  2. @joefiorini It's incremental. But it shares many more keys with QWERTY, including zxc, and it doesn't have L in a crap position. :)
  3. @joefiorini I already have my eyes on Colemak though. ;)
  4. @joefiorini I've been using it intermittently for about 24 hours. :)
  5. @jabapyth You find "ls" annoying to type in QWERTY?
  6. I just found a repository containing the first "unit" tests I ever wrote (in December 2005). It's strange that it was so recent.
  7. @topfunky I plan on it, but it's really unfortunate. "L" is really the worst part of Dvorak in my opinion. :)
  8. "cd" is wonderful in Dvorak, but "ls" is awful. :(
  9. @voidspace Is it a wireless mouse?
  10. @splittingfield I don't expect to ever be faster in Dvorak. :) I do it because it's much more comfortable and less strain on the fingers.
  11. Neither Colemak nor Dvorak is the optimal keyboard layout. QFMLWY is, though, or at least it's close. http://bit.ly/7kRxCz
  12. @zdsbs s/ without it// ;)
  13. @srbaker It's QWERTY, but I type both QWERTY and Dvorak. Macs support Dvorak in software out of the box. I have it mapped to Cmd-Opt-space.
  14. @dgou Yeah, Dvorak is quite hard to learn, and the L key position is horrible. Colemak fixes both of those problems *and* is more efficient!
  15. @srbaker Just a standard Apple wired keyboard (no numeric pad). Even though I typed Dvorak for eight months, seeing one was strange. :)
  16. What happens when I can switch between QWERTY and Dvorak with > 100 WPM in both? I learn Colemak, of course. What am I gonna do, stagnate?
  17. Manual deployment is slow and tedious. One goes wrong. A process is born. Now deploys are even slower. Repeat.
  18. @jonathanpenn Hey, man... I live in Seattle. It's legal here.
  19. For those who have wondered what Pivotal Tracker's "velocity volatility" is, it's just the relative standard deviation: (100 * std / avg).
  20. @jonathanpenn @kberridge Shouldn't that post say "high cohesion"? As it is now, it looks like you're advocating low cohesion! :)
