MODERATORS
It's not just typing speed. It's also comfort and strain on your wrists and hand muscles.
Good typing position significantly reduces the risks of carpal tunnel syndrome, among other things.
I strongly disagree. I firmly believe that the "proper form" you and I were taught is why carpal tunnel is so common(I don't think it one size fits all) People should do what's comfortable for them. In fact, I'm pushing mid-30 and when I use proper form I get uncomfortable pain, and if I get a chair that doesn't line up the armrest with my desk perfectly I also get uncomfortable pain. It's possible that growing up with computers like I did I found what just worked for me, but I've never found the proper form comfortable. I've had computer classes up into my adult life.
With a good chair (my Herman) and wrist rest (a wood block) I've had 0 pain and work at my computer 8+ hours a day. I never leave my desk with any strain.
Hell almost every engineer I know doesn't type properly. For me, the real problem is I always tuck a foot under me and sit on it. ๐
