I’m curious, what platforms do you use for practice and what strategies/exercises do you do to improve your speed ?

Its one of my top software role models. Minimal UI thats easy on the eyes and loads instantly, adaptive behavior thats ubobstrusive, really useful reports.

When I start getting rusty, I fire up gtypist. It does key movement exercises (e.g. dedede dwdwdw dsdsds dadada) for many combinations of keys. It really helps. You do need to make sure you're following good typing practices however.

If anyone is interested - I have written https://typealong.app/ because I wanted to combine reading with typing practice.

Using MonkeyType: https://monkeytype.com/ Source in GitHub: https://github.com/monkeytypegame/monkeytype

Have 2 minute sessions (2/4/6 minutes total) as a warmup routine with 10k English words to get my fingers moving in the morning.
