and yeah programming simply doesn't require fast typing

Funny enough making MC plugins and mods while moderating my own server was what got me to over 100 WPM

Because without meds my brain fires so fast that if I DIDNT type at 115 I'd have forgotten where my for loop was going before ive even finished the conditions it triggers under

My code is slooooooopppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy thanks to that, but it's also not for anyone else's eyes ever so im good

The someone else's eyes are your eyes a few months down the line when you have to fix something

Bold of you to assume I don't just let those errors in the log pile up

If I don't look at the log then they don't exist!
