I challenge you to name a tech unicorn who's biggest advantage wasn't the ability to hemorrhage money over a period of time that would've killed any normal business stone dead.

By far the biggest two things screwing me up here are problems with the app itself: The single-quote opens up the browser's quick-search, leaving the app and screwing up the flow, and the automatic yellow text that moves at a constant speed is extremely distracting if it ever gets ahead of me because of how much more visible it is compared to where the cursor actually is. And it's almost guaranteed to happen on the ones that use single quotes because of the first problem.
Use practice mode so you don't have the competing cursor!
Will look into the singlequotes issue!

I like it but it's not really a comparable/usable result. My IDE auto suggests a lot of things and a lot of "words" could be reduced to a single tab key press.
For example, in golang, I have not typed a full if err != nil {} in years. "err.nn"+tab auto completes to the if, and "err.re" auto completes to the if + return err. To be able to compare what speed I really code at, I should be able to use these to speed things up.
Same as calling functions, I rarely type the full name and instead use tab auto complete. Same for for ranges, "nums.forr" autocompletes to the for i,n := range nums {} form.
Yes, but at the same time in a technical interview you don't control the IDE and you need to type it out. I.e. google interviews on a google doc.

Maybe some people confused wpm and characters per minute... For writing software having 100% accuracy with numbers and special characters is more important than speed. I don't think 100 wpm is real for coding.
This is why I built wpm.silver.dev.
Theres no tolerance for typos on code and way more special characters than MonkeyType.
120 on monkeytype can be 50 on wpm

There's something about some of the 80's and 90's games that showed exceptional love and art from the game makers.
I bought my 5-yo daughter an arcade for her birthday and we have been playing Bobble Bubble non-stop for months, finally beating the game with a single credit!
As we played the game, we discovered new patterns, tricks and pathways to beat impossibly-looking levels safely, and we discovered portals, bonuses and secrets galore. We also got to know each other better, as we play together better than we would play with other people.
The game pushes you constantly between competing to get power-ups and extra-lifes to collaborating to beat asymmetric levels.
There is one power-up that turns the level into a bonus where you have a score board and whoever gets the most bonus items wins extra points. But if you do even scoring, you both get the max bonus. The game is testing you!
It is when you beat the game at the end that the secret of the universe is revealed: Love & Friendship.

If that's your jam why wait, book your flight to Somalia today and start living the dream.
There's no need, you can do it today from within any country by living with cash.
The maximum number of possible next moves is 361, which happens only in the initial empty position.
The 361 hardest-to-reach positions (assuming logical rules like [2]) are all the positions with 360 white stones and 1 empty point. these take 2*361 = 722 ply to reach, with black passing all their turns.
And these answers were found without checking all 208168199381979984699478633344862770286522453884530548425639456820927419612738015378525648451698519643907259916015628128546089888314427129715319317557736620397247064840935 legal positions :-) [1]

It's also a natural infinite game due to Kos which can be the best move to play. This requires a set of extra rules to prevent. (Ko, superKo, triple kos, etc)
