> These are not hard and fast rules, more of a system

This is key. You’re trying to build a base of good behaviors but it’s flexible because the world is full of complexity and having overly strict rules is impossible.

I know that feeling.

There’s also the hold/tap key thing where you don’t have to move the key physically. Between that and layers the keyboard is an infinite canvas for customizations.

I love these kinds of projects. Each time I move to another keyboard I inevitably “lose” keys - numpad, then function keys. So I’m maybe a couple of iterations away before I’m ready for this ultimate challenge.

Like just a normal QWERTY split? Kinesis makes a nice one that’s pretty affordable and even has LEDs :)

Thanks for your very honest comment. At my office we’re hybrid and people oscillate between the home and in-office for the same reasons as you - sometimes it’s just nice to hang out with people, even if you’re working.

I would hope you wouldn’t have to abandon your career and maybe a little job hopping is in order. I don’t think the world will go full remote, even if that’s personally the way I enjoy it.

I am definitely in the bucket of people thinking this is how antibiotics work. Do you have some links I could read talking about how this isn't true?
