    Yeah it’s a pretty painful task to learn a new layout. I’ve done it 3 times, going from QWERTY -> Dvorak -> BEAKL15 -> Graphite, it’s been a pretty awful experience each time. Especially the latest one, as I actually have a job now where I type a lot. There was a period of about a month where I slowly forgot my old layout and needed to build speed with my new one pretty quickly.

    But, if you ever are looking to switch, I can definitely recommend Graphite as keyboard layout for developers. I personally swapped X and J to make it more dutch-friendly, but other than that it’s been excellent for comfort.








  • For real, the amount of freedom I get here without a driver’s license in the Netherlands is insane. I walk to the train station and can get anywhere in the country and even to a lot of other places in Europe.

    Then I can just decide on a whim to walk to the grocery store, take a bike ride to visit my parents, go to a movie theater, whatever you can think of.

    If there’s one thing I have pride in with my country, it’s the infrastructure we have. I find it very hard to imagine moving out of this country because of it.
