I think the key insight here is that corrections you can trust are great - you can just let the autocorrect do its thing & stay in flow state. Corrections that you have to check every time because they’re not reliable enough are worse than useless because they force you to check every single correction, completely breaking flow.

The right amount of flow state is hard to achieve. I'll type two words wrong but the autocorrect actually gets it right, but by the time I've realized that, I've already hit delete several times or are on the third word, have lost the autocorrect, and lost my focus and flow. My brain's just not timed the right way for the auto correct's default settings
