I've recently been improving my typing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My speed is usually good, but my accuracy is not where I'd like it to be (it's usually around 95%, and I'd like it to be nearer 99%).
|
|
|
|
It may seem counterintuitive, but I need to slow down to get faster.
|
|
|
|
But not focusing on the speed and prioritising accuracy, I'll still get faster as I'm not mistyping as many keys.
|
|
|
|
It's the same when I run.
|
|
|
|
My first few kilometres are slower as I get into the run, find my pace, focus on breathing, etc.
|
|
|
|
## Here's the thing
|
|
|
|
The same can also be said for automation and automated testing.
|
|
|
|
They require some time investment initially but will save time as a project evolves and becomes more complex.
