README

GitType ⌨️💻

"Show your AI who's boss: just you, your keyboard, and your coding sins"

Why GitType? 🤔

Look busy at work → "I'm studying the codebase" (technically true!)
Beat the AI overlords → Type faster than ChatGPT can generate
Stop typing boring stuff → Your own bugs are way more interesting than lorem ipsum
Discover forgotten treasures → That elegant function you wrote at 3am last year
Procrastinate like a pro → It's code review, but gamified!
Embrace your legacy code → Finally face those variable names you're not proud of
Debug your typing skills → Because pubic static void main isn't a typo anymore
Therapeutic code reliving → Type through your programming journey, tears included
Climb the dev ladder → From "Code Monkey" to "Quantum Computer" - each rank comes with fancy ASCII art
