This[1] links to http://www. workmanlayout.com/blog/ which is a 404. (space inserted to avoid auto link generation).

Going to the main page of that site reveals some articles from the past few years, but also has online casino and crypto links disguised as posts. E.g.:

Weird and shady.

I keep seeing all these people fancy keyboards and interesting looking layouts except that it takes them six to 10 attempts to type anything correctly. Don't really get the point, but having got curious about this "workman" layout and regretted trying to find out.

I was thinking of a pane layout manager ... Anything like that around?

Cyber criminals use wordpress vulns to inject spam into old blogs. That doesn't make it less weird and shady, but might explain why it's weird and shady.

I touch typed qwerty for about 20 years using really bad technique(full left hand two fingers on right that roamed). When I got my first split keyboard I switched to Colemak and went through a bunch of touch typing tutorials to teach myself proper form. Without switching layouts I don't think I could have forced myself to start using proper form in qwerty.

Same as you. I switched to ColemakDH for a while and noticed that it improved my Qwerty typing speed.
