I've been using my pointer finger to press the spacebar this whole time 🤦‍♂️

I’m … stunned.

I was coming up with a short, fun, provider-agnostic SSH target name for my new VM. I landed on ha because I like using “ha” in chat, it’s short for happy place, and most importantly, I was impatient and wanted to move on.

Then I realized that ssh ha is annoying to type because my pointer finger has to go from the “h” of ssh, to the spacebar, and then back to the “h” of ha.

Then it struck me. Holy shit. I’ve been using the wrong finger for the most frequently typed key for my entire fucking life with computers.

At least I’m not hunting and pecking, but good lord. Time to start retraining 40 years of muscle memory.
