The TTY in the title is a hint... The 'wordle-blocks' are fit the 5 bit nature of the Baudot-code used there...

Sure, part of its being brilliant is of course that it is original AND a one-shot...

The semicolon key[^] 
This keyboard isn't too old - a few years - but the A, S, Shift, and CTRL keys are worn smooth, you can no longer see the labels. E is fading fast, and you could brush your hair in the reflection from the space bar ... but the semicolon looks pristine!

I just bought a new keyboard!
So I am back to being a junior developer!

Are you implying that ALL the keys should have lettering on them? I vaguely remember that...
My Dell laptop[^] was 3 years old last month...
Stops anybody from borrowing it!

I got a replacement keyboard for an hp Pavilion DV6 a couple of years ago. It's about halfway there...
The real problem with the DV6 keyboard is that it has an extra column of keys down the left side, which is surprisingly offputting.

Nobody has ever claimed that. I had one of these some years ago:

The epitome in localization! With customizable driver and paste-on symbols so you can put the ÅÄÖ where you want them.
|

|

With the second advantage being that nobody else than you can use it.
Did you switch back to a keyboard with labeled keys then ?

I started using laptops with built in keyboards. Have so far not seen any laptop with unlabeled keys...

It's the backspace key for me! 
Actually, the laptop I recently replaced was a little over 5 years old, and its ZXCV keys no longer worked consistently.

For Visual Studio based developers, the F5, F10, F11 keys also.

I wore a pit in the C key of my last keyboard. I'm not sure what that says about me.

You need to come up with better variable names?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I would have figured if that was the case, I would have broken my "i" key clean off by now.

I thought one just needs to put "Senior Developer" next to their name and that made it so. I had no idea the magic really resided with the keyboard. I am truly not worthy.

Only A and S? Not also W and D?

Since these can't rub off - try to apply a solvent known as water to remove all that dirt. Maybe a protective suit may also be in order.
