Is answer yes or no? Not reading article.
What I learned from going down that rabbit-hole is that typing even though I sit in front of a computer all day (and then some), isn't what I do most. I'm paid to think and come up with solutions. Typing them up is so small that I barely got past 50 wpm after months without extra daily practice.
That said, my hands are so much more comfortable all the time. I used to sometimes get cramps or rarely debilitating shooting pains along the backs of my hands that put me out for days.
What I fear is that when I'm really old and start to forget, I won't have what would have been older Qwerty muscle memory to fall back on. And there will be no-one around to make my personal custom layout on the device of the day. Maybe a hardware inline USB-C mapper would work. But just in case, I leave one of my computers on Qwerty.
