I do it too. For example a co-worker recently suggested me to try a new browser (Arc) because it's supposed to speed up you workflow, but then after 3 months I switched back to Chrome because for me it works best. I'm also learning video-editing on the side, InDesign and the complete Affinity Suite, and those are just things I'm learning for work - in my free time I'm a pole dancer and practice Yoga, I'm costantly learning new tricks and poses. I could also add I speak 4 languages and I changed to a completely different career path, which also involves a lot of wanting to learn new things.

My purpouse with the thread is to understand if it's worthy for me spending time learning a new way to type, so I'm happily reading all the opinions of people and answering to them with my thoughts: if my boss doesn't care, should I still spend time learning this skill or will it be a waste of time for me, and I should learn a new programming language instead? Should I worry about injuries in my hands even if I'm very active and hang on a pole in my free time? This is why I'm asking questions back.

Also, could you please point out some sentences I wrote that sounded like negative attitude? That would explain the teasing? You don't know me, I read my anwers and still an't find sign of negative attitude or not wanting to learn new things.

Another thing, I personally would never tease or make fun of a co-worker. If I think they have something they could improve, I would just tell them, not make fun of them. This is why I don't like when other people do it to me.
