Seeing people with respectable typing speed using just their two index fingers. What a waste. They could have been great.
-
Your words do not hurt me, I'm already used to being a diappointment.
-
The fingers aren't the bottleneck, it's the brain. I type just as fast with two fingers as with ten.
-
Even if they were half as fast, it's so much more satisfying when you use all your fingers.
I remember day I started actually using my right pinky finger to press the semicolon. That's when I became a real man.

That reminds me of when I learned to touch type 3 years ago, I went from 30wpm hunt and peck to 15wpm touch type
Now I'm at ~80wpm and my small brain coming up with words is the limiting factor haha-
Hah, sometimes I forget how to spell a word but my fingers still remember it

That'd be me! Over 90 wpm with mostly my index fingers. I do use other fingers for some keys (I always hit space with my thumb and backspace with my ring finger), but it's mostly index fingers.
-
Same. I imagine, for me at least, it's due to having deal with unendingly different keyboard models and not being in front of a terminal all day.
I can however type relatively quickly with either my left or right hand and with the keyboard facing me or sideways. It's a skill that's really useful when helping someone out with an issue they're facing. (I prefer being at their side over remote, as I can gauge what they do and don't understand better)

Ah yes, my dad mastered the 2-finger-search-system
-
People that learned on manual typewriters will do this.

I (my parents) had a computer when I was 5 and didn't learn to type properly until I took a typing class on manual typewriters in middle school because computer games don't teach you to type and we didn't have the internet

Cue Sean Connery in Finding Forester typing a full page with two index fingers like a boss.
