Well, it's a pleasant surprise to see this being still posted! It's been 10 years this last April that I made HackerTyper! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2480946 I can honestly say it 100% bootstrapped me in the programming world and it's been one of the best things I ever!

I remember using this in front of my friends in late middle school, good times. Thanks!

Oh I can assure you it’s alive and well. As a Middle School CS teacher it gets annoying. Each time I have a kid declare to the class, “Look, I’m a hacker,” I have to stop what I’m doing and explain to them that no that’s not hacking. It has started some good conversations about how they can hack stuff in their own home, but mostly it’s a bit of a distraction. So, thanks for the teachable moments throughout the years.
