Ask HN: Do you touch type?
I've been programming for over 10 years and have always typed with just 2-4 fingers.
I've been trying to touch type recently but am absolutely struggling.
Just wondering if it's too late for me to learn touch typing after many years sticking with a bad habit.

[ 3.1 ms ] story [ 9.8 ms ] threadI learned how to type correctly 10 years after I first touched a computer. How? This may sound silly, but about 30 minutes/day of Mavis Typing Tutor was enough.
After a week I noticed some improvements (although I typed slower, i used all of my fingers). The whole „training” took about two weeks (until i became lazy and stopped practice).
Hint: the exercises may look dumb, but they are wiring up your brain the _correct_ way (until you discover Colemak or Dvorak that is...)
