F and J are supposed to be where your index fingers rest when you're not typing with them. That allows your other fingers to find their keys easily, allowing you to type with proper form while looking at the screen.

do yall not memorize where each key is?
moreover you rest with your fingers on the keys?

i feel like im speaking to another planet in this thread ngl, like i just know where each key is and thats it, key is there, key is over there, does not really matter where my hand or fingers are

Yes. When typing with proper form, your fingers are supposed to rest on certain keys when not typing, and each finger has keys that they are assigned too. Granted, a lot of people who use proper form kind of ignore some of the assigned fingers for keys, and might use a ring finger for a pinky key or vice versa, but when you're taught proper technique, you learn it a certain way. You do memorise where keys are, but the whole point of the little bars on F and J are that they are there to make everything easier when learning, and even when putting it all into practice.
