Having absolutely nothing else cognitively distracting you from what you are doing gives you that additional working memory space to tackle complex problems. It&amp;#x27;s not sufficient, there are a bunch of other factors, but to my mind, if you have to think at all about typing, you can&amp;#x27;t achieve that top echelon of concentration.</text></comment>

It&amp;#x27;s also about health and RSI, especially if you use an ergonomic layout like a Dvorak.&lt;p&gt;For me it made a difference, and I went from feeling pain after an hour of typing, to being able to type all day without the slightest issue.</text></comment>
