Programming work is a punctuation skill, not just a word skill
Writing code increases how often punctuation, braces, quotes, and symbols appear in the same movement sequence. That is why programming routines should not only include words. They need sequence awareness, combined symbol handling, and calm recovery after a small slip.
- Practice a short code snippet with a fixed focus on symbols and the return to the home row.
- Run a sentence and then a code snippet to compare the rhythm of each.
- Treating code as if it were normal prose.
- Ignoring the cost of punctuation errors in source files.
- Focus on symbol control and accuracy at the same time.
- Use a small real-world code sequence rather than random word lists.
