How the fuck do I learn how to type without looking at the keys? I'm 22 and didn't start using PC's avidly until like 4 years ago. I've recently wanted to teach my self code, but I get discouraged because I type like some fucking retard. I'm an IT guy too and it's embarrassing to see the speed in which the computer illiterate secretaries type when I fix their network.

All it takes is time and consistent use of the keyboard. Anyone can learn to touch type. Don't get discouraged!

OP here. Had to take a shit. This looks pretty cool.

Here's what worked for me:
Took one beginner typing class (barely passed, ha) then just did what I love, use the computer like crazy... within a few months I was typing 60+wpm. Well past that now but this is 15 years later.
TL;DR take a class to learn basics, then practice practice practice

This... but force yourself to use the proper form and not look even though you'll make mistakes and be slower at first.

Don't listen to this fucktard, OP. 99.9% of all keyboards you'll ever use in your life will be QWERTY or your regional equivalent. You won't always have your own keyboard own keyboard with you with one of those hipster layouts and you'll be back to pecking keys like a faggot.

Why do you think the secretaries are good at typing? That's what they do for a living.

>tfw you used tux of math command to memorize basic arithmetic before enrolling in college
gamifying data is a great method for rote memory learning that reduces the tedium usually associated with it.
