I wouldn't worry too much about it. Typing fast doesn't make someone a good software engineer. It's like assuming a fast runner would automatically be a great football player. It might help, but if you can't read plays or hold onto the ball under pressure, speed alone won't get you far.

I don't think that is what Ember is currently feeling about having a low WPM, but I do appreciate a good reminder about this challenge. This challenge is just for fun to see who types fast lol.

Yeah, I don't really care about that number, but lol, I wonder if it has anything to do with me constantly getting -5 frags every minute in Quake 3 Arena, randomly falling into the abyss (pit, nonsense, empty space, idk what is it) out of nowhere?

Not really familiar with Quake 3 Arena. How does that work?

If you fall into the void (also applies to death by falling or self-destruction), your frags decrease, and the goal of the game is to get the most frags, simply put.
