+# Writing A Blogpost Without Using Backspace
+
+2022-07-16
+
+I'm a terrible typist. Even if I;m looking right at the keyboard, I can;t
+guarantee 100% accuracy. See? I got both apostrophes wrong. Truth be told,
+I never learned proper fingerring. That "rr" was a mistake,. That ",." was
+a mistake. OK, back to where we're at. Sometimes I plavce my finfers on
+the home row, and ten seconds later they just disperse onto random keys.
+Sometimes I press two keyts when I meant to press one. This is very common
+when I save a file in vim. The correct command is `:w`; I often do `:we`
+without knowing and vim telsl me there's no sucj command. And I ofeen get
+the keystroke ordering wrong. It's as if one hand has 50 more milliseconds
+of latency than the other.
+
+I never learned to blinf type either. Every ten seconds or so, I *have* to
+check out where my hands are ion the keyboard ior they starty doing weuird
+trhings and mess tup rtberu7thign I ;k doing. I have, at least one time,
+churned out a completye senmtence uninterrupted without looking at the
+keyboard, as if directly from brain toi keytboard. this rarely happens.
+
+What's thwe most painful is writing LaTeX. In math mode there's all these
+backslash-initiated commsnds and delimiters, sucha s `\left( \right)` and
+`\mathrm`. Typing all these while thinking about math is like soldering
+0603 resistors in a moving car. The good nerws is I have a plugin
+installed named VimTex, which helps me with some keystrokes, sucg as `]]`
+to match `\begin{}` with `\end{}`. But believe me, even with this one
+I cannot finish one equation woithjout constantly hittig backspace.
+
+There, I typoed a blogpost wuithout using backaspace. I have definitely
+proven what a terrible typ8sty I am. I don'ty deserve keyboards, and at
+this point I wonder why no one has taken them away. Dvorak won't save me,
+nor will it save anyone who is not equipped with enough dexterity to
+distinguish themselves from an ape. This would serve as a cautionary tale
+for your children to start typing early, or forerver be bound to a fate of
+sloppy typistry.
