Please remember that Sam uses only lowercase letters. So it needs to be one word only, or use "-_", like closed_ai, really-closed-ai, agi-and-i

_ would lose the efficiencies gained by avoiding the shift key so only - can be used

He uses lower case also on the phone, which autocapitalizes words...

He wants to show the word that he's faster, but in reality he's not interested in being more efficient.

I have colleagues that capitalise by toggling caps lock on and then off again so the efficiency gains might be real for them lol

The best keyboard productivity I gained was remapping the CAPS key to do nothing in macOS. I’ve been considering remapping it to the `backtick key since I use that so much in Slack discussions and when writing documentation

I have it mapped to CMD. Quite a bit nicer than using my thumb for CMD

I know some people who map the CAPS key to Tab, so they don't have to stretch the pinky finger as far...

Mine is mapped to F14 in Windows, which is rebound to push-to-mute on Discord. Great for gaming. And yes, there are more F keys above F12.

Well, on most keyboards there aren't actual keys, but instead shift-F1 through shift-F12 produce F13-F24.

I used to work with a good programmer who hunt and pecked using his index fingers. I thought it was funny, but it drove the vim guy in the office nuts.

I refer to myself as a "six and a half finger typist" because I never did learn proper touch typing, but I can still type faster than most people.

I do use the Backspace key a lot though. :-)
