There is no autocompletion, that's not realist. I never type "apt-get install nginx" I type "apt-g ins ngi "
>grep -R "error" logs Why is error in quotes?
Still, I may be a little anal about this but I align with this. I quote everything in bash. In this case I would do single quotes as it's a literal. You never know when someone with lesser bash knowledge will modify your script and put a variable in there. Shell expansions are nothing but footguns everywhere. Proper quoting hygiene and `--` goes a long way

I'm not sure. And to be honest, typing speed was never that big a deal. By the time I got out of college a few decades ago I was in the 110-120wpm range. However as I progressed in my career as a developer what I found is that both my "working" WPM and then my "normal" WPM dropped over time. Once I moved out of truly junior, pure code grinding roles, I spent more and more time thinking, talking to people, etc than I…
I'm pretty sure that also people who write novels aren't held back by how fast they can type.

It's also helpful as a burst speed. It doesn't mean you are always cranking at 120wpm, but you can hit 120wpm when the words in your mental buffer is overloaded and you can empty that fast.
Try writing on pen and paper, you'll find that your mental buffer fills up quickly and you aren't able to hold all of your thoughts, so you have to drop some. It has its use cases, sometimes you have to think more and write less. But in general high entropy write capacity is a valuable spec to have.
I suppose knowing what commands to type has precedence over just typing fast.

For me, Firefox on desktop (Windows) and mobile (Android) both give the SSL warning. Although mine appears a bit different than the parent comment: An error occurred during a connection to haxxorwpm.0s.is. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
No issues here with Firefox on Linux or Android 11 (installed from F-Droid in case that matters). Strange. I wonder if it's a network difference rather than the workstation setup
There's a highscore system but considering it's a matter of time before that gets cheated, the first run where I didn't struggle with backspacing into a previous command (which is blocked): 60s | Basics category | 79 wpm | 100% acc | 38 cmds | QWERTY | Logitech K200 (membrane keyboard from like 2007) Fun idea, I like the categories and the option to specify keyboard+layout in the highscore, and the page layout/design…
Thank you
"You check out guitar George, he knows all the chords" I suppose knowing what commands to type has precedence over just typing fast.
