Author of the linked article speaking.

Possibly I should have emphasized the specific claim that junky input devices (e.g. QWERTY keyboard) are merely one symptom of the deprofessionalization of computer programming - rather than the 'alpha and omega' of it.

And, in this case, not only of computer programming. The fact that millions of people who make their living entering natural language text do so with the abominable limb destroyer known as QWERTY is an atrocity. Quite like the case of the radium watch dials and the labourers who went to an early grave making them. Or those who worked in the match factories, before them.
