didn't think this would surface again. I used this website when I was in college, around 2015. Tbh it is of no use. no one actually cares how fast you can type the syntax.
Dan Luu has a really good post that outlines why working on things like typing speed can be extremely valuable and basically a force multiplier on everything else you do as an engineer.
This is like saying running fast is not important to football. It is true, but if you run really really slow like a 100y old, then you can't play football.
If you work for yourself, feel free to take all the time you need.
The same for playing football casually.
In a work environment, you can't take all the time you need.
I’ve worked with people who chicken peck, etc and is just not an issue. Clarity of thought is much more valuable.
No amount of boilerplate can help you.
At the end of the day, you need to type fast enough above a certain threshold to be a programmer.
For example, I would say if you type <10 wpm, you cannot be a good programmer.
There is definitely a number that makes sense.
It really tires my neck out to look up and down every few seconds if I work somewhere with a large distance. Usually not an issue though, since I'm rarely in a CLI for more than 10 minutes.
I agree that speed is not important, but I believe every dev would benefit from learning how to type properly.
