That's a peculiar thought. I would expect that you would run into other issues -- Namely, that you would wind up having to design your own unique keyboard to accommodate your extra digits, as the spacing and alignment/arrangement of existing keyboards would not fit your physiology?
It would be a very interesting thing to evaluate and see if there are any other people with similar physiologies, and see how it has helped or hindered them, and what obstacles they had and benefits they reaped.
Though, I do suppose that also depends on your own interest in things like that. For those of us who have not had the same experiences, it would be interesting, for you, it may very well be boring by this point.
Funny how our perceptions can vary so much based on our own experiences with any given subject.
Awesome! Python is a great choice. Keep it up and I'm sure you'll be a pythonista in no time. I wonder if you still had the extra digits if you could code 20% faster... :)
Coder, developer, Computer Systems Engineer,Computer Science student since 2009-put it on hold since 2014 to throw self at the world and test the knowledge's worth, Hello world in C at age 12.
Hi! I'm Ade, I'm an aspiring developer working on learning Python. So far, I'm learning how to fail gracefully and the value of persistence.
Fun fact: I was born with six fingers on each hand.
Good luck with the failure and the success!
hank you!
With 2 extra fingers, you can code faster :)
The perfect Emacs coder
@goatsaretasty so those fingers didn't work and you had them surgically removed?!?
They apparently wiggled just fine but they were amputated right after I was born so I just have nubs there.
@goatsaretasty That is fascinating.
Imagine what an advantage something like that could be if they functioned correctly.
Now I regret my mum's hastiness. On the other hand, how many more typos would I have if I still had them?

disq.us/p/1kzr6zq Yes. Really.Goats are tasty.
Nice to meet a fellow six fingered programmer, mine was removed immediately after birth and I'm sure it's same with you
