          There is no reason to be like that. If you come across a joke that makes you laugh then please share it with the rest of us, dont worry about the downvotes, I sometimes post jokes knowing they are going to be downvoted, please see my post below about the chef. :)

            In one of my previous jobs, one day I was assigned an old project, dozens of C files. I typed furiously all day. All I did was move

            if (...){

            to

            if (...)
            {

            NULL

              To slow the typists down. Back when typewriters were manual, fast typists would jam the keys.

                                Some IDE leaves the "{" on the same line of "if" by default. I do not remember which one. Current visual studio certainly does not do that.

                                  Back when I designed VDT's, I had to do a special keyboard layout : A-J, K-S, T-Z. The Coal Board - if the keys were qwerty then the union wanted clerical pay for using them...

                                    The Dvorak[^] keyboard has a layout designed to be faster and easier to use. I've heard of a few people using them but haven't tried one myself.

                                          The Dvorak[^] keyboard has a layout designed to be faster and easier to use. I've heard of a few people using them but haven't tried one myself.

                                          It might be hard to do due to the mismatch between the physical keyboard and Dvorak system.
