Misleading title and limited content aside, one sentence stood out to me:
"This wasn’t such a big deal when I was actually doing computer programming homework, since people who can code at typing speed are pretty rare."
How does everyone else feel about the "rareness"?
- unit91 11y agoIf by "people" he means "undergraduate students" then yes, they're probably pretty rare. On the other hand, if he means "an average programmer with 5+ years experience", probably not rare at all. Given the scope of the article, I'd assume he means the former.
- acbabis 11y agoPlanning your code is part of coding. To truly "code at typing speed", you would have to do no prep-work or research and type your program beginning to end with no bugs (see: http://www.hackertyper.com/ http://www.hackertyper.com/). I'd say that's pretty rare.
