The Specificity Principle
Typing skills transfer to what you practice. If you type code all day, practicing code-specific patterns (brackets, underscores, CamelCase, semicolons) builds more relevant muscle memory than standard word drills.
Progressive Overload in Typing
Introduce symbols, numbers, and long words after mastering standard letters. Challenge your weak fingers by practicing text that uses those keys heavily.
