Very much a side note, but:

> my feeling is that I’d still reach for it if my hands are really physically hurting, and I need to keep working. Usually once I reach the point where I’ve got blisters on my fingers I think it’s better to just take a break

I'm dumbfounded, and impressed in an unhealthy way. Do some of you regularly type so much that you develop blisters?

Ever seen somebody type on a keyboard that learned on a typewriter?

Every day when I look in the mirror, and I don't have this problem.

Then again, by the time I had a touch typing course at age ten using an old typewriter, I already had taken piano lessons for a couple of years. My music teacher was very strict on proper hand positioning, saying that future me would hate him if I didn't learn that right. I stopped taking piano lessons soon after, but I imagine that the skills involved with properly playing the piano transfer quite well to typing.
