schnika | 3 years ago | on: Practice typing by retyping entire novels

How funny. When I was around 10 my mother sent my sister and me to a 10 finger typing class. We had to practice at home so I started retyping the first Harry Potter novel which was my favourite book during that time. It was after 100 or 200 pages when I left everyone I know behind in terms of speed and accuracy. Every time I switch my keyboard I am doing a lite version of and retype only a couple of pages in order to adjust my muscles to the new layout.

I wanted to sign up as a reviewer but it seems like one needs a linkedin account to do so. Since I don't have a linkedin account it seems like there is no other chance?

Well, as with everything:

Before using a library blindly 1. Ask yourself which problem you want to solve 2. Educate yourself 3. Does the library solve you problem 4. Use with caution 5. Learn from you mistakes :D

I really like the .contain_exactly() matcher for this purpose as well :)
