Everyone knows programming is an equipment sport, and in the past few years you'd be hard pressed to find a girl on the keyboards without several pairs of striped socks on hand,

But the tech they don't tell you about... is nail covers. You want the plastic ones, they have the right mix of flexibility and rigidity to enhance your typing.

You want the ones with glitter. They're sparkly.

WHY

I JUST WANT THEM TO ROLL GOOD

I'M DYING

They renamed it -addext, apparently. Huh.

@tinker And among those, "app" appears to be the only one that I can actually buy.

(I didn't try "bank" or "insurance")
