Programming Workout

" summary

Argument that practice beats tools: a structured regimen of tiny daily drills, measured goals and peer accountability. Examples are concrete: use vim golf and Ruby Quiz for repetitions, train touch‑typing to raise words‑per‑minute, run code katas to expose editor or design gaps. Habits form in about 65 days on average, a “three tiny habits” hack speeds that up, and a community site programmingworkout.com (≈500 interested) collects exercises and progress so practice is repeatable and trackable.
