Just gimme what I know. The kids can hit those newer layouts.

My brain isn’t up to the task of learning a new finger language.

Edit:

And just for fun. Did anyone else type their thoughts when they first began mastering typing?

I-t (space) d-r-o-v-e (space) m-e (space) i-n-s-a-n-e (space) f-o-r (space) a (space) l-o-n-g (space) t-i-m-e.

I can type super fast because of it though. I be out here on leaderboards haha.

Yeah it's a pretty painful task to learn a new layout. I've done it 3 times, going from QWERTY -> Dvorak -> BEAKL15 -> Graphite, it's been a pretty awful experience each time. Especially the latest one, as I actually have a job now where I type a lot. There was a period of about a month where I slowly forgot my old layout and needed to build speed with my new one pretty quickly.

But, if you ever are looking to switch, I can definitely recommend Graphite as keyboard layout for developers. I personally swapped X and J to make it more dutch-friendly, but other than that it's been excellent for comfort.
