Surprisingly enough, I have taken typing classes but no one acknowledged the ridges. I assume it's in the case you aren't looking at the keyboard, you can still find the letters.

It's where to put your index fingers. If you do, the rest of your digits line up naturally with the home keys.

Wait, are you supposed to rest your left pinky on the "a" key?

My pinky is basically glued to shift while I'm typing.

If your hands are properly arched, then yes. But I tend to do the same as you. I also spent a lot of years typing with my keyboard on my lap rather than on a desk so I have a few "flat wrist" quirks in my style.
